Hello all,
Hope someone can help. We have just had a new electric shower fitted (replacing an old electric shower). The new shower is 10.8 kW and after a few minutes (3 or 4) it keeps tripping the MCB. The MCB is rated at 32A - should it be more for the new shower ?
Also - we have already been looking for a supplier for a new MCB but they all say they do not stock Proteus. Is this now a defunct brand ? Does it mean we have to get the whole consumer unit replaced ?
We are at the point of thinking we will have to get an electrician in to check this out for us, but I'd like to at least understand the problem a bit more before getting someone in, so any advice is very much appreciated
Thanks,
Pete.
