Unfortunately it is not working! He said the MCB went bang several times. So rahter than call me he called the hot tub people, they came and tested the tub, which was ok and took a transformer away for testing. This was also ok. Tub people said to my mate you better get the wiring checked!
So I pop out, 40A type B mcb, 2.5mm SWA about a 30mt run with 3 junction boxes on route.
R1 +R2 + 0.54, I/R 299 all round. Very odd. Start going through the JB's and found the second one completely melted inside. 10A [?] connector blocks used, whatever they were was way too small. Interesting tho that all the 'standard' tests gave a clean bill of health.
Anyway he is selling up and I have told him i am not reconnecting as I think the cable is too small. Not sure on the start up load but it looks a BIG pump plus the heater. Contacting the makers tommorow.
