Hello all, just a quick question.
I am planning to upgrade my shower to a 10.8 kw unit and upgrade my wiring to 10mm twin and earth. (usual run in a standard terraced house).
I'll need to replace my old 30 amp MK mcb with an uprated unit but the only ones I can get from my local retailers are 40 or 50 amps.
My question is, will my cable be up to carrying 50 amps if required? I've had a quick look in my on site guide and it seems close and will depend upon the installation method used. Which method applies to this installation? (usual plaster walls/under floorboards etc)
Any help is gratefully recieved.
