Shower wire

Re: Shower

Hi is anyone tell what cable can I use for 9.5 kW shower . Plz I think it's 10mm and 40A but I m not sure.

Hi MMJ,

Before we go any further can we establish what electrical level you are at (this helps members to answer according to your knowledge and helps us to ensure you are in the right section), if you are designing and installing a cable for a shower then basic cable calculations are required for your installation method... You seem to be asking members how to do this and also asking them to tell you the cable size, unfortunately we don't encourage step by step guides and if you find yourself needing this then I suggest you employ the services of a competent Electrician.
If you wish to show your cable calculations for the install methods then we would be more than happy to nudge you in the right direction if needed

well, it is. God made us an island for a reason. napoleon came up with the idea of a channel tunnel, thatcher's worst mistake was allowing it to be built.

I know mate i agree just surprised how many people think because Europe says it's 230 they take it as gospel, when in reality nothing much has altered, maybe some of the new HV installs, but everywhere, don't think so.

I know some manufacturers give 2 values Andy, but when they give 1 then surly you must use the nominal voltage 230 for your calculations.

What voltage would you use in an exam? I would guess that the the OP is a trainee.

I was gonna say we don't know if the OP is a trainee, but DW got there first.

I believe he is a student, we will have to wait for his return.

If he's not a trainee he's certainly not an electrician.

It's been 230v for over 30 years now Pete. Time to move on.

I use 230v because it's in the reg's.

Well the OP has been a member since 2010, he has no posting history so we have nothing to go on, if he is a Trainee on a course he would be best to apply for application to the Trainee forum.

As the OP is now off line and I cannot see the thread going any further until we know his/her background, so I'm going to close thread until we get some feedback. (MMJ - please PM a staff member with regards to the points I have put to you regarding your Electrical knowledge and level, if we are satisfied then we will be more than happy to re-open the thread, we may also relocate it and alter the advice given if this is a DIY project).

Tel, Pete and Andy - we are going a little off track with the voltage talk but feel free to start a new thread on the matter as this one is been closed for the time been.
