Back on 11th July, John D (amongst others) gave me some useful advice re. my new shower/cable/electrical requirements, and I have decided to renew my old Proteus CU with a 12 way split load unit (You can tell that I've since been doing some homework). My questions are these;
Will I have to get my electricity supplier to fit an isolator switch prior to renewing my CU? I don't have one at the moment
My shower (9.8KW) stipulates a 45A fuse. Does this have to be precisely 45A, or can it be greater, say 50A? (As far as I can tell, only MK products have exactly 45A MCB's available, and their 12 way unit is slightly on the large side for the space I have available). Most suppliers seem to only have 40A or 50A options.
