Shower Cable...

[SSE]

Was speaking to someone today who said they were upgrading there shower to a 8.5kw but not changing the cable which is a 6mm. He said it's a run of about ten meteres going through floorboards and up to switch. Surely this must be borderline? personally I would use a 10mm2 but just thought I would see what you guys thought.

I beg your pardon, you're spot on there was looking at OSG table 6D1 which is eqivilent to BRB 4D1A, should have been looking at 6E1 which, as you say, is the same as 4D2A. We are still OK on 6 mil with B and C though, and yea I've just noticed it only says 'Method C - Clipped direct' and doesn't metion embedded which is a bit misleading! But anyway, it wil be OK in plaster as it is meth C or in trunking Meth B.

Phew!

EDIT: ooooh spooky this is my 666th post!
