Hi,
Really hoping someone can give some advice on this during lockdown.
My shower terminal block started melting today at the live section.
It’s a Triton 8-7–9.5 KW shower using a 10mm cable to 50A breaker RCD, the breaker did not trip.
No damage to pull cord, breaker and wire.
Any advice on what could be causing this? Could it simply be a loose termination, although it seems tight when I checked? If so can anyone provide advice on the proper way to put wires in these blocks?
I am planning on cutting back the damaged wire and replacing the block with a 60A terminal if no other obvious cause can be found.
Thanks
