Advice needed re Triton Zante Electric Shower tripping MCB

Does the shower flow with the power turned off? :?: :?: :?:

If it DOESN'T, then it's highly unlikely to be a problem with the CU or cable.

CUs, fuses, MCBs and cables are very basic and reliable things. Electric showers are not.

Whilst a proper CU with RCD protection is certainly a good idea, it's not going to fix this fault. THE SHOWER IS GOOSED.

The shower doesn't work at all and the power is off, so it looks like it's cooked. Also, found out today that the live and neutral wires from the shower had literally "fused together" inside the CU at the point of the neutral terminal! Hence the "bang" and the blackened on/off switch and melted neutral wire. Not sure if that was due to faulty cable installed by the leccy or if something else could have caused it. Strange.

Anyway, I have left it for the customer to get a qualified leccy in to replace the old fused CU with a proper RCD protected Shower CU. If that still doesn't work he'll need a new shower.

Thanks for your help guys.
