I've got a storage heater on it's own circuit. It has an MCB rather than a traditional fuse. After the heater has been on for about five minutes the circuit trips.
An electrician checked the heater and said that there was nothing wrong with it. He also said that the circuit was earthing out somewhere. He showed me a tester beeping when he held it to the other MCBs but staying silent when he held it to this one.
If the circuit was earthing out then how could the heater come on for five minutes?
