Folks,
I've been given a new shower and on investigating the electrics I found that although I have 6mm cabling, the fuse is a NSB32 240v.
Although I've never had any problems with my existing 9500 kw shower, I thought I would have needed a 40amp breaker.
The new shower is a 10.5 kw job, so I'm now concerned that it will be too much for the breaker - can you advise if I should get a 40A or greater & if greater, will the 6mm cable still be OK.
Thanks.
DT
