If I installed a 10.8kW electric shower with 6mm2 cable instead of the correct size 10mm2 & the correct loading MCB, is it a dead cert the cable will overheat & burn the house down? How easy is it to chase the existing cable (6mm2 with the correct size (16mm2). The property is a newish build...

It will require a new cable 10mm. I will leave it to the experts. Thanx for your help & advise.

6mm has a solid earth 10mm has stranded. This cable has a solid.

Haven't measured the size of the conductors feeding the shower; please advise TTC. Thanks for your patients TTC.

Consumer unit. I have added pics.

Yes I think it does. Thanks.

I want to install a new shower unit (Mira Sport Max 10.8kW) Can anyone advise me about uprating the consumer units' MCB (Crabtree Starbreaker). After reading some info it sounds as if I am required to fit an RCBO (50 amps) is this a simple task or can I getaway with uprating the existing MCB...
