Hi, all. A friend of mine has just had a new boiler and cntral heating system to replace his original one. For some reason, the old immersion heater was connected to 1.5mmT&E. The electrician that came to wire up the new system including the new immersion heater, said that the 1.5mm T&E cable was ok to leave in and wire up to.!. Is this the case or was he just being lazy not wanting to rewire with 2.5mm T&E. The cable is on its own circuit and the length is aprox 25metres. Also, I was wondering if the fuse fitted is ok at 16amps, i'm just a little concerned that the safety device i.e the circuit breaker can stand more than the cable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
