That's a relief! (-: -Thanks, and same to Lurch and Alistair.

Thisgs to look into..... 6mm cable has a higher capacity than 30Amps.
Check to see what size your Fuse or MCB is, if it is greater that 30A
e.g. 40Amps then you'll need to upgrade the junction box to a higher
capacity one.. like 50A.

The circuit-breaker is 32A. It's a 7 kw (or 7.5 kw) shower.

Would it pay to take the cover of the junction box and make sure the
three brass screws are good and tight? (after turning off the power,
of course (-: ? ...I've noticed that those brass screws on
electrical fittings often seem to develop some looseness somehow, over
the course of time. Anyone know why that is?
