Even if there was 10mm cable in on a 8.5wk shower. Is a 45 amp breaker not to high as it would not trip in time ?45A would be fine for the shower.
It is dependent on the cable not the appliance rating.
Would a 40 amp not be suited better, 8500 kw divided by 240v is 35.4 amp or based on 230 v is 36.9 amp ?
