Hello,
My last builder's electrician installed wiring ready for the installation of an electric shower.
It is a flatish cable about 15mm wide for the widest dimension and has "2x6+2.5mm 2" (2=squared) marked on it.
When looking for an electrician to wire in a shower to it one told me that it will allow me to fit a 32 Amp shower and that would have been better being a 10mm cable as would have been able to fit better shower.
Is this correct? I thought that the thicker a wire is the more power it can take and therefore I would have thought it would be able to take a wider range of showers than just a 10mm cable.
Thanks in advance for any information about this.
