megaflow immersion tripping

[vjsmarwick]

Hello has anyone else had problems with a megaflow immersion heater tripping out I have a house with a direct tank I had just the lower immersion wired and had tripping problems so I changed it to the top one just to see what would happen but exactly the same happens. Any ideas as it seams strange that both the top and bottom have the same fault

Is it newish?

So what's tripping; MCB, RCD or overtemperature cutout?

Over temp stat is tripping sorry my mistake for not saying

 

[vjsmarwick]

Its just over a year old its the new stat type not the one on the end of the immersion

I had the same thing kept replacing the stats and rods and it still happened, they said it was a manufactured fault, we changed the unit for a different make.

I agree with Combilau. Many electricians have had problems with these stats. - design/manufacturing fault.
