I need help choosing correct shower and assessing cabling!

Hi Simon

Thanks. Have been over to the flat and had proper look with some new 10mm T+E to reference to. Definitely 10mm T+E that i have. Unfortunately wired via double pole switch to the RCD but only to a b rated 32b fuse. It is not sat under the 63A rccb either so won't trip....does it need to?

If so, I already have a 32A cooker/oven, and a 32A sockets and spurs sat under the 63A RCCB, which would cover both, would it then be possible to additionally just move and upgrade the 32b current shower fuse to a 50A/B to cover a 10.8kw shower - which i guess needs about 45A, and then sit it under the 63A RCCB rather than under the current 100A main switch where it currently is, as although this overloads the RCCB, i am not realistically going to use the oven/cooker, all my sockets and my shower all at once?...or would the RCCB need upgrading too?

If a 50A is big enough - should it be an A or should it be a B like the current 32 the existing shower is sat on?

Thanks
