[QUOTE="David.S, post: 555079, member: 37929"] My house was built in the 1930s, The fuse in my service cut out is 60Amp and the wire coming from the street has a 16mm2 copper core(easy to see against the 25mm2 copper tails into the smart meter) I am ready to install a new 10.8kW Shower, Is a simple fuse change sufficient? Ive been told by an electrician that the 16mm2 cable coming from the street should be 25mm2 to support a 100A fuse. I have 6 other people in the house, a 4.2kw oven, and 7kw electric car charger. Its impractical to take turns in using appliances, on certain days the EV charger, oven, and shower could be in use at once, Along with TV, PlayStation, Kettle, etc also being used. What would you guys advise? [/QUOTE]
