[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 468750, member: 1408"] I think the main point with this thread is that you CARE about what you are doing . I agree that two 2.5mm in parallel would make most of us stop to think . However as Tony says , theres diversity and the fact that they are protected by a 32A breaker anyway . I'd say it,s slightly oddball but not dangerous . The circuit is pegged at 32A . Lets face it ...kitchen fitters get away with murder when they do the electrics but they are competent because they did a half day course. There are 500,000 showers upgraded by non sparks ( I counted them) still connected to the original 6.00mm cable and either 32A or 40A breakers . The cables cope because a shower only lasts for , say , 10 mins . Sometimes the 32A's start tripping in the hot weather but often the shower is turned to half power . [/QUOTE]
