It is in line with an isolator switch and a fused on/off switch. All linked to a power shower (gravity fed). It can run off of normal mains with a 3 amp...

    Shower on 4mm ring final circuit.

    Hi, I've got a customer who wants a 10.5 kW shower installed in his bathroom. As it happens he already has two unused 4mm T&E cables run from the CU cupboard to the loft. I know it's unconventional but is there any reason I can't use these cables to make a dedicated RFC for just the shower...
