Peace!
Thought, I would post it again, hope you’ll find this interesting:
From BS 7671:2008 (Electrical Regs - 17th edition to you and me)
114 RELATIONSHIP WITH STATUTORY REGULATIONS
114.1 The Regulations are non-statutory. They may, however, be used in a court of low in evidence to claim compliance with a statutory requirements. And it goes on ……………………….
Basically, as long as you know what you are doing - you can do whatever you want (almost) but when you are end up in the court – the Regs (17th) will be used to make sure everything you’ve done is up to scratch. If you are not sure – get someone in who knows – a competent person.
From the same regs:
134 ERECTION AND INITIOAL VERIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS. 134.1 ERECTION
134.1.1 Good workmanship by competent persons or persons under their supervision and proper materials shall be used in the erection of the electrical installations. Blah, blah, blah….
If you are doing it yourself – make sure you do it right.
Keep safe!
To take the load without overheating the cable. All showers of 8.5kw and above must be 10mm twin and earth minimum. If the cable run is a long one it should be increased to 12mm.
unless you are being payed for itpeace!

That is their standard, but no way would I or for that matter anyone I know, not fit a new shower to current safety regs.Lets get things into perspective here guys - shower manufacturers replace electric showers all the time, no part P and no proving of the circuit. Its like swapping a toaster.
how do you prove competence in a court of law when cust frazzled ? by being a gsr ?
