Hello
I had a problem with the hot water tank, funny i had not water
So i idid a bit of fault finding today and found no power the the element
So i went to the consumer unit and found no power at the MEM AD100 100amp double pole isolater switch so i have swapped it over to a disused 16amp MCB that is protected by a 100amp double pole breaker.
I have hot water now, also i found bits of plastic inside the consumer unit
from that 100amp breaker
Has any one found problems like this before and how rare for a breaker to mess up
Also can you tell me why its set up with this 100amp double pole breaker and just one 16amp MCB, is for load or just the way the unit is set up
Also where can i buy a 100amp Double pole breaker from and i noticed its still going to be live if i change the switch not good, not that i have a problem with that
Can i just leave it the way it is as there are now three 16amp MCB on one bar protected by the 100amp breaker
thank you
Also i have posted a new topic as the even this is about the same system i talked about in the plumming section i think this is more electrical
