Shower with no RCD or supplementary bonding

MrJack96

I have been round to a relatives flat and seen he has an old Wylex board with MCBs. His bathroom has no supplementary bonding from what I can see and no RCD protection for his electric shower. how potentially dangerous is this? I know the circuits are fairly short and can see main bonding in place Can only really think if the R2 values are low enough touch voltages should end up being kept low?

    Yes, but how?

    Can you please explain, for instance, the current path of a fault and how the 50V between an exposed-c-p and an extraneous-c-p is calculated or achieved.
