Hi Guys
AS some of you may know I am fairly new to the trade and passed my elecsa assesment a couple of months ago.

I am in the process of doing my first install of a shower ( for a friend ) and need some advice.

Firstly I had to run the cable from consumer unit to outside wall and used 20mm plastic conduit for a 20m run on 6mm cable all outside as their extension just didnt allow for it internally. The problem I have is when doing the conduit calc it only goes upto 10m, amd I doing something wrong? Is 20mm conduit OK for this installation at this length ( a bit late now I know ) .

Secondly the Crabtree Starbreaker Split level unit has an RCCB 100ma on the left which is a time delay one with 2 light circuits on it and a couple of spaces. Towards the right there is a 30ma with 6 circuits on it. My problem is I need to rcd protect the shower but there is no where to put it so I see my options as follows;
1. Fit RCBO - expensive but easy
2. Add the mcb to the 30ma RCD by moving the RCD but is this possible, my training was on a standard dual rcd board so this is totally new to me. It seems the buzz bar goes right through from the left RCD right through to the right, I assume they are split but not sure then how I would add the MCB.

Appologies for the questions they may seem simple to most of you guys but I do not have the privledge of working with anyone and learning as I go. I want to ensure safety and learn the correct way,

Thanks Guys

Yes you can as long as all circuits are protected by an RCD ,ill pop and check for the RCBO in a tick its chucking it down here and being a spark i dont like getting wet especially on sundays
 
you have to buy a genuine starbreaker RCBO anyway. as previous posts, i would fit RCBO in one of the spare ways off the 100mA. simplest and better division of circuits.
