porridge on xmas day ?
are you in prison ?
lol ;-)

Judging by some of his posts on this board he damn' well should be !!!

The OP occupation is stated as Gas so at a guess he's either got bad wind or he's a plumber and with all due respect to the kind nature of this forum he really needs to get a competent electrician on site as oppose to taking a few tips off here and doing it himself, any missed info could be vital to the safety of this install and he clearly hasn't any electrical experience with the basic form of his question...... do the OP a favour boys and recommend a sparkie to weigh it up you haven't spent years training and learning all this to do all the calcs for a DIYer /plumber working outside his trade.

For 11kw shower what cable size is required for 15m run?

depends on the cable type, not very big if MICC is run in :rolleyes2:

Na in prison they get the full christmas lunch but the Warders have to make do with the sannies they bring in as told to me by a warden friend

He'll probably find his sarnies are better than the "full Christmas lunch".

anyone living next door to the jones's who have a 10kW shower. just plain snobbery.

I have a 43.9kW shower...well actually it's a 150,000 BTU Potterton Boiler...That is only wired on a 1.5mm² flex from a 13A spur, works fine!! (I think the gas connection helps though!)

It will do more than work fine ... It'll knock the spots off any domestic electric shower any day of the week, any time of the year.

What, ....and then have people telling you, that you need to apply a grouping factor!! lol!!

 

[telectrix]

The same loony who surprises you with an 11 kw range oven with induction hob, warming draw twin oven and grill after saying its a double oven and gas hob......

 

[Stroppy]

At least then you can fry bacon on the cable as a bonus.

Bit of 6mm and a 32 it is, then.

Indeed it still is fingers crossed Xmas day.

A 9kw is just as good at getting the grease out of a monkeys fur and i would know

 

[kingeri]

My 8kw serves me well, usually use it on half power setting as well. Still miss the power shower from the old house though. And my 8kw is on 10mm and a 32a breaker for info
