Folks looking for some clarification as I'm getting conflicting info here.
I have a Mira Sport 10.8 kw shower. The chart supplied with the shower states that 6mmsq cable up to a run of 15m will suffice in supplying the unit. That it will require a 45A pole switch and a 30mA rcd switch at the consumer unit. I have a 15m run and space on the board for the RCD. I can handle the plumbing okay (engineer) but with electrics I always take a back seat to the ones in the know. In this case some of them are saying that 6mmsq over 15m to feed a 10.8kw is too light and i should upgrade to 10mmsq. Others are saying that the 6mmsq will do fine. Some are also saying that new regulations stipulate that I must get the council in to verify and certificate the installed circuit.
Any help on this one appreciated
