The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE
wiring regulations) and be sufficicnt for the
amperage required.
Important:
Before making any sort of
electrical connection within the installation
make sure that no terminal is live. If in any
doubt, switch off the whole installation at the
mains supply and remove the correct fuse.
The shower must only be connected to a
230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a
shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is
advisable to contact the local electricity
supply company.
The shower must be connected to its own
independent electrical supply. It must not be
connected to a ring main, spur, power
socket, or lighting circuit.
The electrical supply must be adequate for
the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)
has a main switch rating of 80A or above and
that it has a spare fuse way which will take
the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
necessary for the shower
If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A
or if there is no spare fuse way, then the
installation will not be straightforward and
may require a new consumer unit serving the
house or just the shower. In this case, you
will need to contact the local electricity
company. They will check the supply and
carry out what is necessary.
