As per the drawing I did above. Agreed, it's not ideal but it overcomes the need for two large electric showers in one property. God knows why somebody would want that arrangement though.
Electric showers running off the same circuit?

I could see this thread going like this......
It is nearly an absurd idea to go to all the trouble and expense of a contactor controlled circuit for two domestic shows.
You need to look at the bigger picture. Diversity has a role to play, and diveristy figures in the regs err so far on the side of caution that most domestic houses these days would need a 300amp supply!
How many houses have you seen with two showers in, and never a problem? I have seen more than I can recall.
All you guys who spout on about contactor control circuits......have you ever installed one, or seen one installed? Highly doubtful.

Have installed contactor circuits before yep, not for a shower tho. I seem to remember seeing one on here - could possibly have been in Ireland.

I don't think diversity will let you put 2 37A water heaters on a 6mm² cable...
