Hi guys, I'm new here so go easy! :-/
Need some advice on a shower that keeps tripping the breaker!
I have a 9.5kw shower running on 230v supply with a type B 32amp breaker. I've taken a measurement using a clamp (Fluke i410) from the wire at the consumer unit and it's measuring about 36amps and not the 41.3 as the calculation would expect. This problem appears to be too much current?
My question is this:
Can I safely put a higher rated breaker in, say 40amp, using the existing wire? I think it may be 6mm, but not entirely sure.
Much appreciated,
Paul.
