hi steve, the fuse size at the mains cutout is 100amp. The consumer unit is hager and i have 1 spare way on the lighting side which is not rcd protected. The socket side is rcd protected. The length is 10m to the shower from the consumer unit and the cable is ducted in the cavity wall upto the shower.
I think he'll probably need one 18mm wide.and what size mcb do i require?
Well from what you have told us so far, I can say it will be 25mm wide.
