Hi guys
I'm fitting a new shower and could do with some advice.
The shower is a 10.5Kw unit
The cabling will be 10mm, the run consisting of about 3mtrs to ceiling mounted switch, then 4mtrs across the loft plus a further 4mtrs down to the fuse box, and this is where the problem starts. The fusebox is an old one with only 6 fuses (see pic ). from left to right I know the first 2 (white 5amp) are for lighting circuit upstairs and down, the next 2 (red 30amp) are the ring mains upstairs and down, but don't know about the last two. 1st is blue 15 amp and the last again red 30amp. Could one of these be for central heating?
Firstly is this unit too small? Secondly can I fit a larger fuse carriage of i.e. 45amp. I will be connecting via an RCBO as recommended but I'm wondering wether to upgrade the consumer unit instead.
