QUOTE(knwong @ Dec 17 2025, 11:37 PM) My last water heater trip is because the GND (green/yellow) wire was install improperly. Some electrician they use thick wire but it only contain Live and Neutral...no Grounding thanks for the info. Then, the water heater not spoilt? can still use after do grounding. ? |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « grounding is a must, if not the heater will go offline after certain time of usage .. for shower heaters; Live and Neutral to use 2.5mm with single max 20A (RCCB), Earthing can use 1.5mm, no problem .. in my personal case which is Joven model EC802 (outputs 3.3kW), uses 15A so I share the 20A RCCB with kitchen LED lights which is total of 3 fluorescents  if other higher kW shower heaters may consider 25A RCCB .. |

QUOTE(Irresistible @ Dec 17 2025, 10:14 PM) my mon recommend her relative to install water heater for me, at a RM120 charge your mum recommended the relative, but without your consent? then by right you shouldnt need to pay him anything. get him to undo whatever sloppy work he has done, fly kite, and go find a proper electricianhe causes the power to trip. He blame its the water heater problem. ( the water heater is brand new ) whats the problem? the problem he asked for RM 280, said he check here and there and request i should buy JOVEN water heater for installation he shouted and i pay RM220 to him first without doing anything.successful. what should I do.? should i let him.continue to do or just find another electrician?
