Hey guys, had to replace a dodgy shower switch today. Old crabtree board, 6mm twin and earth taken from supply side of main switch to shower consumer unit (30 ma rcd and 40amp breaker).
Shower consumer unit is next to main board so will comply with 434.2.1 and the shower is triton 8.5kw.
After replacing the shower pullcord switch I said to customer that it was a bit dodgy how the 6mm was linked direct from main switch.
Customer said his son installed the shower and cable is a qualified sparky and as far as he was concerned everything was ok. (son not living around here any longer).
He wants me to go back and do some other work, so just needing help on any specific regs I can show customer to prove that the shower cct needs improving.
