Hi, just wondering if anyone can help.
We are considering a new downstairs installation of a 8.5kw electric shower. There is also a shower in the upstairs bathroom. Below are a couple of pics ive taken of the fusebox.
The big cable in the middle (10mm?) which is attached to the first 30A fuse is for the upstairs shower. I think the one next to it is for a cooker but is not in use. Would it be possible to instead use that fuse for the downstairs shower? Of course i will probably need to recable it.
The fusebox is a Memera with a max load of 80A (i can check the model if required).
Couple of other questions:
-Would 10mm cable with a 30A fuse be ok for a 8.5kw shower?
-The fusebox is in the pantry. Would it be safe to take the cable upstairs, under the floorboards and then come back out at the rear end of the house through the ceiling (about 12 metres length)?
-Apart from the cable some type of fused bipole switch at the other end of the cable outside the room?
-Anything else i should consider?
thanks for any help given[/img]
