You also need to be aware that as most electric showers are rated between 8-9kW, drawing about 40 amps. However 10.8kW showers are readily available which will consume about 47 amps.
We haven’t even discussed mcb’s and cable size.
If two electric showers are used simultaneously, the combined load can exceed the main house fuse rating, which in a domestic setting is normally 80 amps, potentially causing it to blow.
This is not something that you can change as it normally has a sealing tag to prevent the meter being bypassed along with other things.
You can have 2 electric showers in the house but you need to have them electrically wired to ensures that only one shower operates at any one time.
Understanding shower amps is crucial for protecting the main incoming supply. |
