Need to upgrade the box for an 10.5 kw electric shower. Can i just replace the 63A 30ma split load RCCD with an 80A. The main cut off swithch is rated 100A. Thanks Paul. PS Once i know i can do the swap above i will then take more advice on wireing in the shower rated at 45A.

Skill set limited. Good in theory but not much in practice. To swap one RCCD for another if possible will have no probs isolating the supply and swaping but will not t continue to wire the shower unless i feel 100% confident and understand exactly what is need. Would get someone in. I PROMISE.
Why do you think a 63 amp rcd won't cope with a 45 amp mcb for the shower?
Have you a split board with direct way?- might a 45 amp rcbo on the direct be a better option?
How will you test the work prior to allowing family to use the shower?
