A family member has just moved into a newly renovated house. The entire gaff has been renovated- including an en suite.
The electric shower trips the mcb after a few minutes of being on.
Set up as follows:
. Mira Sport Max 10.8 kW shower.
. Seperate shower CU with 50 amp MCB
. 10mm cable - 15 meter (approx) run in 1st floor ceiling void.
I'm gonna nip round later to have a look - I have a clamp meter so ill check the current draw. The shower, 10 mm cable and CU are all new.
Any suggestions on what might cause MCB to trip? The RCD holds fine. It's just the MCB. Resetting it will hold for a minute, but then trios again. Only trips on HIGH setting and not on ECO mode.
I suspect the shower may be faulty.
