I was looking through my Triton T80si installation manual last night (yes I got bored) :roll: and there is a table of recommended minimum and maximum ampages for 6mm and 10mm T&E. According to it, 6mm T&E cable, clipped onto a wall or through a cavity wall that is uninsulated can carry upto...

I've seen a few threads like this over the least few days, all the talk about 6mm and 10mm cable to 32/40amp fuses etc. Now I know nothing about electrics but it got me wondering what my supply was as we got someone to take out our old 7kW Triton T80 for a new 8.5kW T80si just over 3 months ago...

That's great guys, thanks for your help.

Haha! that's a great method... :lol: I have touched the pump when the stat is ON but there is definately no vibration or any obvious movement.
