    Tripping Shower

    I have a 9.5kw shower running from a 40 amp rcb. About 10 minutes after turning the shower off the rcb trips. This has only just started, the shower has been in since we moved in. There is no pull cord switch, or rocker switch for the shower. Any thoughts why this might be happening?
