Hi all,
We have had fitted a 9kW electric boiler. The cable used from the double pole switch (fitted by an electrician with the RCOB) is 6mm - is 6mm suitable for this?
The cable is 25cm long and we run the boiler at under half demand.
It does not get hot just a slightly warm.
The electrician wants to come back and fit 10mm and a different termination box to accommodate it - costing £95 which is money we just don't have after the initial bill for the electrical work and and boiler install.
If we can safely avoid it we will.
Thanks,
Jack
