[QUOTE="geoffm1066, post: 6024, member: 538"] Hello to all I need a little advice regarding the current method used to power the mother in laws shower. She has just recently moved to a smaller but more modern house circa 1980, and the previous owner has at some point installed an electric shower over the bath, nothing wrong in that but when i visited the first thing i noticed was a white twin and earth cable running down the outside front wall and of course wondered what is was for. On tracing the route i found it was the power supply to the shower, the installation at the shower point appears to conform but the cable and the 40amp isolation switch in the ground floor meter cupboard looks iffy to say the least. The three tails from the switch run into the old fuse box ( No consumer unit fitted as yet ) i have told her not to use the shower as i feel the installation is dangerous, i have looked and can run a new larger cable supply internally and fit a shower consumer unit. What i need to know is by turning off the main fuse box and pulling the fuses can i be sure the power to the existing 40amp switch unit will be off and safe to swap over to new unit? Thanks Geoffm.
