We have recently had a shower fitted 9.5kw I think in June/July 2004 but in the last few weeks it trips the MCB after about 10 mins use? I would have thought it would normally trip as soon as it was switched on.
Have checked the shower manual and the only possible problem is that it states the fuse (I assume thats the MCB) should be at least 40, however the one in my Electrical box which is tripping is 32. Could this be the cause of the problem and if so, I assume I can change the MCB to a 40 without any problems. If so could someone point me in the direction of how to go about this as having tried to remove the MCB I have found it to be quite difficult.
Apologies for this, I have never posted on a forum before!
