    I guess French RCDs can get just as sticky/faulty as ours. Maybe just one of the unlucky 7% on that score...


    I suspect that there aren't too many instantaneous electric showers in domestic use in France - not with their typical 30A or 45A single phase supplies. Sounds more like the 'source' of the shock current was the extension lead and the shower just provided an earth.
