Christmas day mum has the cooker going full pelt and dad decides to make her a cup of tea and a slice of toast and at the same time daughter steps into the 11kw shower thats when you find out if your 60A DNO fuse will be ok lol

The OP occupation is stated as Gas so at a guess he's either got bad wind or he's a plumber and with all due respect to the kind nature of this forum he really needs to get a competent electrician on site as oppose to taking a few tips off here and doing it himself, any missed info could be vital to the safety of this install and he clearly hasn't any electrical experience with the basic form of his question...... do the OP a favour boys and recommend a sparkie to weigh it up you haven't spent years training and learning all this to do all the calcs for a DIYer /plumber working outside his trade.

He'll probably find his sarnies are better than the "full Christmas lunch".

I have a 43.9kW shower...well actually it's a 150,000 BTU Potterton Boiler...That is only wired on a 1.5mm² flex from a 13A spur, works fine!! (I think the gas connection helps though!)

It will do more than work fine ... It'll knock the spots off any domestic electric shower any day of the week, any time of the year.
