We have a power shower that is wired in to an FCU with 3A fuse in the loft.
This is fed by a 10mm2 T+E cable back to a switch fuse in the garage with a 50A breaker in it.
The switch fuse is fed by about 50cm of 10mm2 T+E directly in to the output side of main switch with integrated RCD on a consumer unit.
This doesn't seem ideal to me as the length of 10mm2 between the consumer unit and switch fuse is only protected by the service fuse.
Was this ever an acceptable thing to do or is it as much of a bodge as Im guessing?
