Why fit a pull-cord switch for a shower?

[craig75]

So I just need to know about the earth connection do I need to put both in or just 1

Its better to b over cabled than under cabled

If you don't know this then perhaps you should go back to college?

 

[craig75]

So is it ok to thin the earth cable down slightly on both earth wires so both will fit in earth terminal in switch

 

[craig75]

Btw im not a sparky but I am not incompitant

 

[craig75]

At least you can spel mate not like some of the incontinence on hear !

I automatically thought the earth wire was as thick as the other 2 core live and neutral so I was getting worried oh well . And why do some sparkys say to use 10mm t&e and others say 16 isnt it better to b over cabled than under cabled

Why would you need an earth wire though if the other 2 are nice and thick?

 

[craig75]

Because u need an earth wire in a dp isolation switch stupid for a shower

 

[craig75]

Obviously we are getting our wires crossed somewhere

I thought this why not leave the cpc out and save the copper, it's not like its doing anything

 

[craig75]

So what your saying is you dont need the earth or cpc wire at all then . But u need it in the cu and the shower unit

Well yeah but even 10mm wouldn't be 'under cabled'

 

[craig75]

But 16 is still ok to use though I take it
