"What size cable do I need for a 9.5kW shower on a 40m run?"
Right. 9.5kW shower, 40m run — you're looking at 10mm² twin & earth on a 45A MCB. Anything less and you'll get voltage drop issues and a lukewarm dribble. Check your volt drop calc sits under 3% at that length. If it's a TT system, you'll want an RCBO on that circuit too.
Always verify to current regs. On-site conditions may vary.
A structured, 6-section checklist covering PPE, tools, cable/consumables, paperwork, access requirements, and pro tips — all tailored to the specific electrical job you describe. It also generates shopping lists sorted by category.
The Gaffer AI references BS 7671:2018 (18th Edition) guidance. It will flag cert requirements, test procedures, and earthing considerations. Always verify against the current regs for your specific installation.
Yes. Describe the job in detail — domestic rewire, commercial three-phase distribution, fire alarm install — and the checklist adapts. The more detail you give, the tighter the checklist.
