In a 230 volt system such as in the UK and Europe, the average shower takes 35 to 40 amps. The protection should match the highest load anticipated.

I have this same question on my Plumbing course and i believe i can help you.

I have put KW rating as i believe its connected to a previous question,

what is the fuse rating of a 9KW shower.

well 9000W divided by 230V = 39 amps, so a 40 or 45 amp fuse would be considered.

and then going back to this question, why is overload protection required to be between 30 and 40, because of its KW rating.

Would that help you?

What minimum size-grounding conductor is required if the circuit protection ahead is rated at 500 amps instantaneous?

For a circuit protection device rated at 500 amps, the minimum size of the grounding conductor is typically determined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) tables. According to NEC Table 250.122, for a circuit with overcurrent protection of 500 amps, the minimum grounding conductor size required is 3/0 AWG copper or 250 kcmil aluminum. Always ensure to check local codes and regulations, as they may have additional requirements.

Assuming that the listed exception do not apply the NEC states that the minimum number of overload units required for a three-phase alternating current motor shall be?

Each leg of a three phase motor must have overload protection. There is no minimum. Older magnetic contactors used to only protect two legs but occasions arose out of this configuration that would cause the motor to single phase on an overload condition. The code was changed to stop this condition from happening so now all three legs must be protected.
