I have to say, that if you can't take a twin & earth cable from the CU, to an RCD with L & N terminals marked, and then to a switch with L & N terminals marked, and then to a shower with L, N & E terminals marked, without a diagram then you probably shouldn't be attempting it....

I guess that BAN's reply would apply to the others asking the same question in different ways as well.

Yo.
I'm not trying to score points, or make people feel small, or massage my ego.
Electrical work should only be done on the basis of a good understanding of what you are doing, particularly in bathrooms, and with high current appliances.
Installing new circuits, connecting RCDs etc is not just like fitting a plug.
This is not a case like, for example, a 2-way switching circuit, or a loop-in ceiling rose, where a diagram is genuinely useful to show how it works.
Honestly, if someone is so unsure of what to do in this case that they can't do it without a diagram to follow then they really should not be attempting it.

I hate to think how many people who wouldn't have done so before will now try to attempt to install this circuit as a result of seeing this marvellous drawing! 
Of course people who are plannin gon referring to use this drawing - don't forget that the DP switch must be in the correct zone within the bathroom - but of course you all knew that anyway....didn't you?

And don't forget to test the tripping time of the RCD, the insulation of the cable and end-end R1+R2

Ban ,
Is that French for something?
Is it the new Harmonised European Language?

Yeah - you're right - well spotted.nickyross said:
Of course you should just stick the cable in - I mean, what could go wrong if the RCD didn't work, or a cable carrying 40-45A was faulty, or had no cpc continuity, or a poor connection somewhere?

It was only when I thought I'd try and find out who said it that I discovered that it's not French - it's a Chinese proverb, so I guess I should change it......
