Hi,
I have a 8.5kw shower, 6mm cable and a 30A cartridge fuse. The fuse blows after approx tem minutes of shower use and gives off a very fishy smell at the fuse box. I have checked all the connections and they are OK.
I have been told I really need a 45A fuse to allow full power to heat the water. Is this correct or not. I have bought a 45A fuse but it is far too big for the fuse holder meaning it must always have been a 30A fuse. Any advice appreciated.
Paul
