Rated 5 out of 5 by Darron from Looks more expensive than it i Brought one of these as the switch for a new 9.5Kw shower. Nicely finished and well made. Good strong screw terminals and two separate earth terminals that make fitting very straight forward. My only disappointment is that the neon indicator is rather temperamental and does not always illuminate. As it was brought to be the switch for a shower this is not too much of a problem as the switch is also clearly marked 'Off' & 'On' and even if I am having a "completely brain dead day" the lack of water flow form the shower will be a pretty big hint that I did not flip the switch before I entered the bathroom.

Do I need a 1 or 2 gang single 45amp switch for a 9.5kw electric shower?

Asked by: Billy20

Hi, thank you for your product enquiry. For a single device you would only need a 1 gang switch, a 2 gang would be for 2 separate devices (or circuits). A 45A switch has a maximum power capacity of 10.8kW, so your shower is a nice margin below this maximum rating.
