Hefty in reply to @hippy

So why hasn’t it been tripping already?

240x30=7.2kw.

Do you do 240 or 230? Either way it doesn’t add up.

Airhead in reply to @Hefty

It's only using maximum current for a short period of time when the shower starts and breakers generally allow a little overcurrent before tripping. It's also possible that the 8.5kw figure has a bit of marketing guff involved.

Maybe Sparky will find a nicely charred cable in the walls :)
