so can someone please tell me what the correct cable size is and fuse required.I have 10mm cable and a 50 amp fuse in my fuse box is this ok
 
Depends on what size (kW) shower you have?

But 10.0mm usually does the trick....
 
Thanks .its 10.5kw shower but someone said it had to be a 40 ampfuse in use box is 50 ok?
 
It does not matter with a fixed load like a shower that will never exceed its max rating. As long as the cable is up to the job, a 50A breaker is fine.

Who are you, and why do you keep trying to kick this back into life?
 
Ban, I should't worry about it, Elite is no longer with us (acording to number of posts)
