Hi All, having an issue with what I thought would be a pretty straight forward problem at first if anyone can shed some light.
This particular circuit breaker trips when you turn it on via double pole switch, but only if it has been off for about 10 min or so. It only has to be reset by the breaker once and it's fine, you can then switch the double pole switch until your hearts content as long as it's not left off as explained above for over about 10 min. Details of circuit below:
Small restaurant has a 2.5mm Two Core & Earth FP200 Radial, clipped direct (15m run) via a 20A double pole switch feeding two 2kW dimples patio heaters fed from a 60898 Type C 20A breaker
Now for stuff I've tried:
Full Range of tests and visuals carried out to circuit and all satisfactory
New Breaker - Same Problem
New Double Pole Switch - Same Problem
Pick up a new heater and swapped with each heater one by one - Same Problem
Note: When one heater in disconnected out of the two, whichever one doesn't make a difference, circuits ok
Note: This does two heaters on one side of a restaurant, there is an identicle circuit which does the other side which is fine.
Id really appreciate any help if anyone has come across a similar problem, if it's something silly then I'm officially signing up to plumbing school.
