CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Fig.4

Schematic of installation circuit

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The installation, supply cable and circuit

protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE

wiring regulations) and be sufficient for the

amperage required.

The following notes are for guidance only:
1

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.

1.1

The electrical rating of the shower is shown

on the rating label

(Fig.3)

within the unit.

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 be connected to its own

independent electrical circuit.

IT MUST NOT

be connected to a ring main, spur, socket

outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.

3.1

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

(Fig.4)

4.1

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.

4.2

You will need to contact the local electricity

company. They will check the supply and

carry out what is necessary.

For close circuit protection

DO NOT

use a

rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated

Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or cartridge

fuse

(see Table A)

5.1

A 30mA residual current device (RCD)

MUST

be installed in all UK electric and

pumped shower circuits. This may be part of
the consumer unit or a separate unit.
