Shower circuit design.

Why would an electrician install a 10 mm twin and earth circuit protected by a B32 MCB for a 8.5 kW shower?

  • Perhaps the maker's instructions suggested a 10.00mm2 cable. The B32 is too low in rating, but as showers are only brief activities it may work o.k. for a long time. It may never trip off except if it is located in a very hot location.

    It is commendable that you could confirm the power rating of the shower Sparkingchip. I find the stupid little labels with tiny print, affixed under the shower unit normally behind pipes, a real pain to read.
