Hi
I have a friend who has a sauna room at the end of the garden. The sauna room is built within a larger cabin type building and was installed about 30 years ago. The sauna which is an electric type is wired from his house fuse box (old type fuse box- no breakers) and buried underground up to another fuse box in the cabin (again old type fuse box). There are four fuses within the box x2 for lights, a 20amp -not sure what thats for and a 32amp which protects the sauna via a dedicated sauna control box which incorporates an on/off temperature dial.
Recently, whenever the sauna is switched on, it blows all the fuses in the cabin and in the house. If however just the lights are switched on its fine.
We have checked for any loose connections/ bare wires etc but everything seems in order. The lights work ok so I am assuming that the buried cable is ok.
Anyone ever come accross this before?
Any advice welcome
Thanks.
