It's a brand new MK board, with brand new MK type B breakers.The lamps are basically halogen lights with heat bulbs in..... The only thing that could be causing a surge is the circuitry in the switch. I'm gonna swap the 16s for 20a breakers and see if that solves it. At the end of the day it is...

The best part !! York !!

Lol.....nice try !! The tv is in the one wall that isn't open behind armoured glass !!

I wouldn't think it's the switches, Danlers make good quality stuff and they weren't cheap £20 B&Q crap... They were £60 each....the lamps on the other hand were cheap ones that the customer bought, but that shouldn't matter at the end of the day a load is a load !! Cheers anyway

Yeah tested fine, the board they are powered from is in an outbuilding powered from a 3 phase board in the pub itself, the board has an Rcd main breaker which doesn't trip when the breakers do and none of the other circuits on the board are affected, I thought they were faulty mcbs at first so...

They're both on different lags anyway...one is 4 minutes for a quick fag, the other set to 20 minutes as there's a tv in there too to watch the footy on.... Doesn't make any difference, both circuits still trip.... :-(

Guys, I've just finished installing 4 heatlamps in a smoking shed at a pub near where I live, they are controlled by 2 Danlers EXTLSW 16A(Exterior time lag switch) they work fine for about 4 hours then start tripping the breakers. The lamps are 1200w each, wired in 4mm on two circuits...
