How much insulation is needed leaving back box?

[twist]

Hi, I'm replacing a damaged cable to my shower and can't make a good job of getting both 10mm^2 cables in the old DP switch box without stripping the external PVC way back to promote flexibility.

The thing is these are massive cables and the one at the bottom comes from the top and vice versa, the opening at the back barely permits the two entry without needing to cross over.

Should I replace the switch or let cable leave without full outer insulation?

well, if that was outside my bathroom, i'd not immediately think it was for the cooker.

If you came home tanked up night you might wonder why your rice won't boil in that pan with a lid!

well it won't boil if you put it in the bath. don't eat rice anyway. curry & chips for me.

Curry and chips on the bathroom floor etc isn't that unusual , is it?

 

[telectrix]

not if you drink that chemical muck called lager or smoothflow and miss the pan when you throw it all up.

We're not feeding the 5000 here!

Got a mate who came downstairs one morning to find teeth marks in his plastic fruit.
He also came home one night with a bag of bacon rinds he found in a bin and proceeded to cook them up and eat them.
I love beer drinking! :smilielol5:

I don't know, I'm replacing my shower.



I have a 45A switch and discover I cannot use 10mm^2 cable in it. It seems like the regs re CSA vs Imax are bodged.

Why not? Who says?

bigger cable= bigger enclosure.... ssimplesss.

The OP is probably trying to use a 16mm surface box!

Some of us enjoy a hot meal whilst taking our bath.

Oh yes.

Getting her foot stuck in the gazunder slowed her down quite a bit.

Eeeeeee....she sounds like a right sprightly little minx!

Oh she is ..... very quick and nimble on her feet.
