    Power cut, but meters on.

    Hi guys hope I've got the right section. My power went off randomly this morning half way through a shower (electric shower but 12 months old). No tripped fuses, I flicked them all off and back on, still nothing. The meter is on and the red lights on it. Any ideas please?
