what would the current drawn by a 10kw shower be? at 230v thanks

i would now say...C?!!!

oh, heres the question in full, and maybe you will see why i'm stuck, Fuses and circuit breakers detect.. A earth faults only B overloads,short circuits and earth faults C overloads and short circuits only D short circuits and earth faults only

fuses and circuit breakers DO detect earth faults aswell then??

ok thanks, looking now. also, to save starting a new thread, fuses and circuit breakers dont detect earth faults no??

Different installation methods alter a conductors, A - current carrying capacity, B - voltage, C - capacitance, D - colour, At first i thought it must be D colour because of the change from red/black to brown/blue, but im now thinking that actually by saying "conductor" it is...

According to building regulation M the heights are between 450mm and 1200mm, surely this cannot be right? having just held the tape messaure agints the wall, 450mm dosen't seem low enough and 1200mm dosen't seem high enough, can anyone confirm or deny this for me? Thanks,

Thanks pal, your so right! i left school at 14 and am now 30, maths? not a clue. science? i like starwars if that counts. as for V=IR, you wot????!!!! :shock:

its that simple??!! oh dear, do i feel like a plum now, thank you so much, i think the problem im having is the way all the books are worded and numbered, i'l get there, wish you were my teacher tho!!! Thanks again, so much.

but i dont understand why tho..

right, so it's asking me- if i extend a length of cable, the copper bit in the cable(the circuit conductor,yes??) what will the resistance to (heat im assuming) be? which leads me back to my origanal answer of "stay the same", because weather a cable is 10metres long or 20 meters long, its still...

ah, hang on i think im getting it, the "gray" part of the cable, is the "Insulation resistance"? (the out side part) now ,by extending a length of cable, the resistance is the same? (for the gray part), but not for the "circuit conductors", "circuit conductors" is what i need to be...

GOES UP?? oh my days i need to start from the begining again, give me a gun. i give up.

well to that i would say less, but i cant find anywhere in my books that have said it like you have siad it..ARGHHHHHHHH!!! :? :x

no im getting stumped here, getting in a right mess, this is either really simple and im being thick or i need to take a break, been constantly reading for days, weeks infact and im just getting overload, thanks for your help anyway guys,

hey it's cool, i dont want any of you to give me the answer, just a little guidence if i am on the wrong track, i am reading the books constently and sometimes find the terminolagy a bit much to take in! thanks!

i understand that, its the "flat profile" bit, i mean, is that there just to confuse the issue, is it irelavent that it's "flat profile"

Hi, new to site. Could someone please take the time to help me out, "a flat profile cable is to be extended,the resistance of the circuit conductors will, A stay the same B go down C go up D change according to the tools used now i'm sure i'm just confusing myself, i think...
