A 10.8kW Mira electric shower draws approximately 45 amps at 240V. This current load requires a dedicated 10mm² electrical cable and a 45-amp or 50-amp Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB), paired with a 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD). Older 8.5kW electric showers frequently ran on 6mm² cable protected by a 32-amp or 40-amp fuse; upgrading to a 10.8kW unit on that legacy cable risks thermal overload. Under
UK Building Regulations Part P, any new dedicated shower circuit installation or major alteration in a bathroom must be installed and certified by a competent electrician.
