Electic Shower

[cclifford]

Installed a new shower and have the power light on the shower lit but when i switch it on i lose power.

Check your connections at shower and isolator. It's possibly a bad connection or a cable not stripped back properly and tightened down onto the insulation. Have you tested the circuit R1 + R2 etc?

 

[cclifford]

hi thanks for your response i have checked the connections and they seem ok

Does your shower have a safety switch built in where if the water pressure is not correct it wont work.

Is it the RCD tripping or the MCB?

 

[cclifford]

yes it does but the water pressure is ok as i done a straight swop of showers as the other developed a fault

 

[cclifford]

neither are tripping i just lose the voltage RCD and MCD are perfect so annoying

 

[pennywise]

what shower is it?

 

[cclifford]

Tritton Eelctric shower

Have you gone through the complete commissioning process including removing the purging pin on the circuit board?

 

[acat]

If RCD/MCB is ok water pressure is ok connections ok only thing really to do is get an electrician in to test properly it may be that the fault with the old shower wasnt a fault at all but you may have problems elsewhere that is causing both showers to misbehave.

it has no mention of purging pin what is ths?

 

[pennywise]

Is it a remote unit with a digital control?

 

[cclifford]

the shower is a zante 3 8.5kw made by Triton nothing fancy as they say

 

[cclifford]

What would you say the problem might be as i haver power to the switch??
