I have a problem with my shower and need some thoughts.
It is an 8.5 kw shower, has a pull chord isolation switch, and a push button on the shower to turn it on.
One morning we pulled the isolator on, but no power. The RCD on the fuse box had tripped. re-set it, shower worked, but tripped after the shower - i turned the isloator on and off a few times to see if it was stuck..
Since then, we have been able ti sue the shower, but it seems to trip the rcd intermittently. I have left the shower on cold to rule out the heater element, and even turned the isolator swicth off, but it still seems to trip.
Where do i need to lok for the fault - the shower unit, or the fuse box and/or wiring ?
Any thoughts and suggestions ?
