[QUOTE="Forty_Two, post: 524260, member: 34737"] I had a FuseBox F2007M fitted in my garage a couple of months back, it replaced and older CU which was working fine but as I was having a EC charger installed for an electric car I was told it needed upgrading. The 16amp RCBO in the pic supplied and electric garage door and socket in the garage. The 13 amp socket has been used for the last couple of months for some small (load) stuff - no problems. Today, for the first time since this CU was installed I decided to wask the car using my Karcher K7 Pro plus and an attachmnet the squirts 'snow foam.' Each time I used the snow foam attachment it tripped the RCBO. (I presume the snow foam being thicker than water causes the Karcher motor to work harder. Surely this can't be right - any ideas / suggestions? [/QUOTE]
