I have an existing indoor sauna that hadn't been used for sometime (used plenty before though) and I recently cleared it out and renewed the room its housed in. When switching the sauna on it starts fine for 2 - 3 mins and then trips the RCD switch. So I read online very similar issues but none ideally match my problem. I will give more details below but my basic question is...Is it the Sauna or something else, I'm happy to buy a new one just don't wnat to throw good money away.
The sauna is wired very professionaslly from what I can see. It sits on its own circuit to its own breaker switch with a 35amp fused on and off switch. I've tried isolating the elements (3 of them) and all elements work properly on their own but with 2 or more the breaker trips after a few minutes on. The only thing thats changed since it last worked (other than time as its not been used for about 2 years) is the 35amp fused switch which I changed (I changed it back to the old one and it still tyripped). The Sauna is a dated Harvia Kip60
I'd appreciate any suggestions, as said happy to buy a new one but want to be certain it is the old one thats the issue.
