    Commercial, block of offices. 63A sub main 3 phase DB. Hardly any circuits in it, literally a small lighting circuit and a socket for the mains room. 4 core is for the super fast 32A 3phase version sorry. I saw the book online, might have to pursuade the boss to buy one!

    Literally had this on a brand new MK metal clad sw fused spur. It was fusing down a heating system. Replaced with a new one and it was fine. Cost peanuts to replace - must be an issue with internal connections

    Breaker Tripping under unusual circumstance...

    I agree with SC, I have a 750W in my rig and I’ve had issues before with 20A radials with high current devices in the kitchen on the same circuit. Could possibly try running the PC in Eco mode through windows to limit the power your devices can take. At the expense of performance ofcourse!
