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?

    My only issue with Chint is that I could not find a wholesaler who keep their MCBs in stock, Screwfix supply them, but they don’t keep them in stock with them only being available after 24-48 hours.

    If Chint and Screwfix ensured there was stock in each branch I would have completely resolved all the issues on Friday and there would not now be unresolved issues to deal with.

    I actually have a better stock of 40 amp circuit protective devices in my van than any wholesaler in the United Kingdom have in their warehouse, except a some of the specialist second hand suppliers such as Willrose, but I didn’t have Chint so I have ordered three as  “just in case” van stock.

     

    So what is really wrong with fitting a different make of M.C.B. and slightly adjusting a bus-bar finger to suit? Or putting the new device at the end of a shorter bus-bar and linking it by a short wire tail/link? Isn't that just site engineering?  A better quality make of M.C.B. than Chint would be a benefit.
