Electric showers

[Norn Iron]

Hi
Have a job to do which is a garage conversion, it's being made into a bit of a small home. There's a bedroom, living area utility room and Shower room.There is already a dist board out here supplying the garage but they want an electric shower installed out here.

Now the problem I think I have is that inside the house there is an electric shower in the bathroom and my understanding is that you cannot run 2 electric showers in a domestic property

am I correct in saying this? Look forward to some clarification

It did use to be (and probablly technically still is) that the DNO should be informed whenever a new 'high load' appliance was intended to be installed.
Yes there is a possibillity that if both showers, and perhaps the cooker are all on at at the same time, the DNO fuse may blow.

Why can't there be 2 showers in a domestic property/why can't there be 2 items of equipment that draw 8 or 10 kilowatts ?
What if the homeowner has got an electric oven and hob ? Does that mean they can't have an electric shower too ? Of course not. Or i'd better get back to my last 2 house rewires and disconnect the cooker or oven. Obviously i'll give the customer a choice.

look, everyone knows that you cant wash...and eat at the same time....

It seems a tad impolite of the op to respond to the answers freely given in such a negative way

If the situation arose where the load effect of 2 or more showers is of concern,then there are priority switches that can be mounted in the board
