Re: Hot Tub Tripping

Right been over to see the hot tub myself and what he told me is ******** he got of the internet and what he thought was tripping!

This is the situation with the Hot Tub:

Make: Balboa Water Group
Ran from garage consumer unit from main board in kitchen via a 50amp mcb to the garage consumer unit which also has 50amp mcb (so no discrimination) then to an isolating switch for the hot tub then to hot tub.

It is fully earthed and is protected by a 30 mA rcd, performed ramp test and ittrips at 23.0 mA.

It is ran in 10mm Armoured cable so plenty big enough.

Hot tub runs fine and starts up you can select the 2 modes of bubbles and it works fine all the lights are on it works fine, when the thermostat clicks the heating on, it shows the light and stays on for about 30 seconds then trips the Rcd.

Yep, 30 second delay till the thermo controller ( West? Eurotherm? Omron? Something like that) finished initializing itself, then the heater contactor kicks in
then the faulty heater trips the RCD.

Hard water, scale on e heater, can't dissipate the heat to the water, expands, cracks, ...

Two separate threads on the same question is going to cause confusion for those who are trying to assist you. I've merged both threads into one for you.
