Hi,
I need to replace an electric shower, currently 8.4kw, (35 amp fuse, old fuse box, no RCD). Have read some other posts re 6 and 10mm cables, but I'm not sure what my size / rating my cable is.
The existing cable is c. 15 years old T&E, no markings on exposed part of the cable by the fuse box, but cable clips are marked "14 x 7", the 14mm ties in with the width of the external insulation of the cable. Cable appears to be in good condition, never had any problems with the shower in that time (until it sprung a leak!). It's only a short wiring run, c. 1.5 m. exposed up wall (under the stairs) and 3.5m. in floor void / lath & plaster wall void (bathroom is at top of stairs).
Can anyone identify the cable and tell me what power shower I might be able to upgrade to?
Thanking you in anticipation!
