not if you put it on a 32A MCB.
Using a 6mm T+E cable, bunched with other cables, and/or running it on a 32Amp CB are both bad design practices, and almost certainly will not comply with the Regs.
Separate the cable from the others, and it may then comply, but not on a 32A CB, use a 45 or 50A.
I have a 10.5kw shower and when I clamped it was only pulling 37/38amps
now, that is a get out of jail free card. complies with regs., but is it good practice?
Assuming its not already, and changing the protective device means a new EIC.
pcam, a 9.5kw shower is what its been rated at 240v, at nominal voltage (230v) its 8.7kw check the box. so thats pretty much like for like, advise cable is upgraded before they put a 10.5 in next time.......looks like they are heading that way.
