Is it wise to run a 9.5kw shower through a 6mm cable even though there's a 40amp

fuse in the fuse box? My mate has installed a 9.5kw shower and it kept cutting out as the fuse kept blowing. He was trying to run it with a 30amp fuse and only 6mm cable. I've told him that it should be run through 10mm cable and a 40amp fuse but all he has done is changed the fuse but not the cable. Any idea how dangerous this is?
