Hi guys
I've been working on a site and I've had a problem with the site agent and his QS both are convinced that in the regs there is a rule suggesting that ALL showers MUST be wired in 10mm minimum. Whilst I appreciate that it is generally accepted that 10mm is a rule of thumb . I also was only aware of the reg relating to sufficient current carrying capacity and not a reg specifying what size cable to use.
I've checked my current on site guide and I can't find a reg that specifies 10mm t&e minimum for ALL showers please tell me in not loosing the plot
Cheers
Nasa
 
i agree with you. 6mm is adequate up to 9.5kw. the only reason 10mm was specified in the 16th fo over 8kw was volt drop.
