Hey all
Im planing on fitting a new electric shower for a friend soon. theres no existing cable or shower at present so will all be new.
I plan to do all the pipework and electric work, ecept for actually hooking it up to the consumer unit. ie Ill fit the shower run the cable to a suitable isolation switch and the up to the consumer unit and get a spark to fit the required rcd/fuse and test it.
My quistion in whats the best cable to use, I dont know what size of shower hes wanting yet so was just planning on running cable thik enough for 9.5 - 10kw. with maybe a 10m run from end to end?
and out of curiosity, what does an electritian actual need to do at the box to hook in a new circuit?
cheers
