    RCD Keeps tripping, may be 8.5 kW Shower?

    I have a gas and electricity inspection carried out every year as I'm supposed to. This is why I was suprised at the BG engineers comment. I did think that these regulations are not retrospective, but I now have to reassure my tennant after the BG engineer has him convinced otherwise...
