Hi guys

My tenant just had an electrician in to connect her cooker and has told her that the shower is dangerous and not to use it because it has a 40 mcb in the consumer unit and it should be a 32.
The cable is 6mm and the shower is 8.5kw.

Can you advise me please
Thank you in anticipation
 
There is no such thing as being part P registered either. Part P is a building regulation, nothing more.

We all know what is meant my Part P registered/qualified... Whatever you want to call it. Why are some people sooo against the sayings.
As before, BS7671 is just a bunch of regs.. Why do we not slag off the quals for that....??
 
I don't. Because there is no such thing. It shows ignorance of the electrician that uses it. Would put me off using him/her wondering what else he/her was ignorant about.

As this thread clearly demonstrates the spark clearly has no clue about fusing.
Do you have some work that needs doing, some plug tops installed perhaps?
Could get the Part P Qualified Spark to look at installing some LED Bulbs as well when he/she is there.

All my plugs have their tops on.
As I said there is NO SUCH THING as a part P qualified spark.
Bulbs does not need an upper case letter in the middle of a sentence.

Your idea of taking the *iss is not amusing.
 
If you think the term 'Part P Registered' is bunkum, take a look at these search results:-

part p registered - Google Search - https://www.google.com/search?q=part+p+registered&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjk_ri9_ezgAhUSVBUIHeISC4sQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=903

Part P Registered is a phrase from the schemes and is used it seems to promote sparks who are registered with them who can carry out notifications. After all, Part P is the section of the building regs that requires us to notify, so the term 'Part P Registered' get's used to indicate a particular company can notify.

The Part P exam is C+G 2393, with the proper title being something like 'Building Regulations for Electricians' or words to that effect. But in common parlance it often gets called 'The Part P exam'.
