Had my NICEIC assessment today, all went well.
We got onto the subject of functional switching and they agreed that a switch for the shower is not necessary. My thoughts are, in future I am thinking about crimping the cables instead of putting in a new pull switch.
Just wondering what your...
Found a shower pull cord switch within zone 1 of a shower. Can't tell the manufacturers details so can't ask them. So does anyone know what the general rating for these switches are? (Thought I saw something posted on here once, possibly by Spin?).

Not being able to afford a decent clamp meter ....... I was just wondering if electric showers do actually pull their stated load, i.e. the full 10.5/9.5/8.5kW. If they do, is it only as a boost to top up temperate intermittently? Or is it a constant load? I've just been thinking about a few...
