    6MM OR 10MM

    Hi All, I am making a annex in a old workshop about 35 metres away from the main fuse board. It will have a water heater for a shower and sink and then just a few sockets for a kettle etc. Would a 6mm cable be sufficient and what size shower rating would I need? Thanks for any advice.

    Why do we fit a 10mm cable for showers?

    I'm reading a thread at the moment about a 9.8kW shower that has been installed on a 6mm cable. My natural instinct was to think that's wrong, it should be on a 10mm. Most of us would fit a 10mm cable and believe that to be to the right choice but if the reference method is C then the 6mm has a...

    6mm or 10mm for cooker?

    I don't think I've ever come across a cooker that needs 10mm but I may err on the side of caution with this one. Rangemaster Leckford deluxe 110cm induction range cooker. 14.8kW, states required a 45A supply. No info on cable size. With diversity a 6mm will be ok. Plus ref method C gives a ccc...
