how is the
cable is run,size of shower come into play also.


It's more or defacto mandatory for any circuit, unless you can bury it
50mm below the surface or mechanically protect it, or surface run it.

It will also be necessary if you have no supplementary binding in the
bathroom under the 17th.

Oh dear!
45 years ago in my first house I fitted and plumbed in a Triton 7KW electric
shower over the bath. The cable went straight down the pipe box and finished
up in the meter cupboard. I was very nervous when I connected the cable to
the electric meter. Nervous is better than saying that I was **** scared.
The meter had fuses. No RCD stuff.
There was no isolation switch for the shower.
I was dead proud of my shower.
I wish that I was 45 years younger.

Funny how you didn't die. RC whatevers are for pussies.
