electric showers
Jan 7th, 2009, 4:19pm
 
Hello,

Can you run two electric showers off the same fuse?
If so do they need to be the same wattage, or can one be 8.5 while the other 10.5 as long as the fuse, switch and cables are all for the 10.5
Thanks and hope that makes sense.

You need one circuit for each shower, unless you ft a changeover switch or interlock to forcably allow only one to work at a time.

In my opinion, fitiing a changover switch etc is a dirty bodge.

You really need a circuit for each shower, and also need to consider the maximum demand of your property.
