Hi all, first of all I've got to say I know very little about electrics, hence coming on here. I have just bought an old cottage which I intend modernising. I will be doing most of the work myself, bit by bit. I recently installed a 9.6 amp shower over the bath, and as there is a 15 amp socket available, used for the washing machine with the old round pin plug, I plugged the shower into that, but it blew one of the fuses in the fuse box. I put a new bit of fuse wire in and the shower worked for a couple of times then the fuse blew again. Surely if it is a 15 amp plug it should work a 9.6 amp shower? Would it be better to wire a seperate socket for it?
