Can you install more than one electric shower on one electric board? Someone told me u can't cause of loads

Answer 1

As long as it has it's own breaker you can do it.

But you have to have enough power coming in to cover what you use most of the time (Load)

In this day & age most homes need more than 100 amp service to cover the load.

Check your breaker box to see what the main breaker is rated at.

When they install new service they usualy don't cover every thing 100% because you wouldn"t have every thing on at the same time.

Add up what your normal load would be & see how close you are to the limit.

It is always best to call on a electrician for things like this.

Answer 2

I have no idea what you mean by an "Electric Shower" and I assume by electric board you mean a panel. Well, if your electric whatever draws too much power then more than one would be a dangerous waste of time. The fuse or circuit breakers should prevent you from overloading. It just wouldnt work.

Answer 3

Not really, well not on a domestic board anyway. A typical elec shower needs a 45A supply. Two of those adds up to 90A which is almost the 100A capacity of the whole household supply. If the two showers were on, and you had an electric cooker on, you'd blow the fuse each time for sure. To do this, you'd need to contact your leki supplier and get them to install a beefier line to your house (generally though, house have 100A supplys only)

Answer 4

You can install as many as you like on separate circuits, but you cannot use more than one at a time, at least not with any other load on. A 9.6kw shower draws 40 amps, most service fuses are 80 amps.

Answer 5

i would seek some professional advice. in my opinion as an electrician for a long time ,it is down to loadings,volt drop etc , depends on the size [wattage] of the sowers being fitted . do not attempt to fit yourself , get a professional ,preferably N.I.C.E.I.C.Registered

Answer 6

yes, you can call your plumber
