I have a power shower pump housed in the loft, plugged into the mains via a small plug in circuit breaker.
This all works fine except that periodically the shower won't turn on as the breaker has tripped. A reset is all that is needed.
This happens maybe once a month: doesn't correspond to any pattern. Never trips in "mid shower" only if it has been off for a while (eg overnight) then is switched on.
Any ideas? Could the breaker be rated too low for the pump? Could the pump be at fault (though as I say it normally works perfectly)? Could the breaker be faulty or too sensitive.
Any help appreciated.
