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.

BUT … is that a failure of DESIGN (in relation to the characteristics of the fixed appliance and the OCPD) or OVERLOAD PROTECTION?
I really think it's NOT 433 …
… BUT as I've said all along in this discussion thread, I don't think that's a reason to say it's OK and complies with BS 7671!
