Shower circuit design.

Sparkingchip

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

    I know one thing, if there’s a couple of teenage girls in the house it will definitely trip. 

    Yes, I was called out to investigate a shower that had blown a 30A wylex fuse. The lady in question said that her niece had been enjoying the new water power spray for about ¾ of an hour when it stopped. It appeared the woman had had installed a new electric shower the day before.
