has anyone successfully fitted 10mm cable, 45A switch, 1gang backbox?

You don’t want a long switch like a shower, ok.... what about a cooker control unit with a socket?
Uses a 2 gang box, but horizontally. Gives a bit more room to manoeuvre.

Yes of course. I'll recalculate. It's 18.4Kw and I've been fixated on having a 1 gang since doing the calcs for 6mm cable ....which wouldn't have allowed a socket included. Now I've got 10mm cable.... we'll see.
Thanks.

10mm should go into a 1G switch, else a contractor arrangement or a rotary isolator in a cupboard for me

every sub. he's been on sank.

Not quite Scouse, Boats don't sink, they dive, and I was fortunate to surface the same number of times. Pull up a barrel, dit on....In the early 80s on a long dived patrol my Fleet Chief said his Dad had been on a longer dive than any of us....one lad rose to the bait and said not possible on a diesel boat....to which we were told that his boat dived in 1943 and hasn't surfaced yet.?true dit. I thought it best to quit whilst I'm ahead?

Goodness me I could never work in a submarine for love nor money! Terrifying!

i'd go down in a sub 100 times before I's do a Fred Dibnah up a 200ft. chimney. you can't fall off a submarine.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I've just come back on the forum to look for info and realised I never gave a proper answer. I left after serving 33 years and immediately wished I'd left 10 years earlier, however after 5 years working in civvy street I realised that I missed the discipline and teamwork. When I left I just didn't want to be at sea in my 50s..... 'been there done that' is how it felt. So in answer to your question, civvy street was definitely different and better for me at the time, but for job satisfaction the Navy was good for me most of the time.

Goodness me I have removed a Kitchen draw and squeezed in to fit 10mm outlet box and 10mm cable to induction hob. It was a long job to do.

Good luck with that.
