At college today doing 17th edition and discussing part 4 it was mentioned that you could run a cable for less than 3 metres without downsizing fuse/ circuit breaker if the chance of overloading that cable was unlikely.
Did I hear this correctly I am wondering?
Any how, what I am relating this to is the number of occasions I have seen on the old 4 way wylex boards (BS3036 fuses) where an electric shower has been installed on seperate 30 amp switch fuse but 6mm T&E has been connected into the main switch.
I always thought this was against regs and advised customer accordingly.
Your thoughts please?
