I would like to do a bit of research.

Had a quick look at the links. Didn’t see anything relevant to a possible failure of a RCBO.

I’m sure all the theory behind the electrical engineering side of things is fascinating but I’ve had my fill of mathematical equations, even simplistic ones such as these, during my uni days.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Ahh well its your shower, you and your family only get into it.............no guests I hope.

Please do as asked and get someone to do a through test of all of the circuit.

No, but you saw a great deal relevant to the sizing of cable and protective device for a shower.

Fair enough:

I think you need some competent help, on site.

Best get an electrician in to check it all out.

get an electrician to check the wiring is the right size for the shower

You need a qualified electrician to get this sorted.
