If fitted properly they can be immersed in a puddle to a depth of 1m. However, many installers seem to lack MC4 spanners needed to do them up properly, or overtigten and cross thread them. Some factory fitted connectors aren't always great, and a favourite of any seal leaking is getting dirt on...

I don't think he's right about that, or the fan would not work when you switch the light on. Either way it's probably looking for a 240V pulse.

And in addition to that, there was no enforcement of the plastics used to be fire retardent, as per appropriate standards

Ok , play nicely now, tis the season of good will to all, except stormtroopers of course 😃 I seriously doubt the op has any form of test gear to do a more effective investigation, in which case it's a valid suggestion to at least minimise the impact of nuisance tripping until they can get an...

Random tripping is usually a fridge or freezer, but it may be a faulty RCD, or a build up of earth leakage from various appliances, one of which is becoming faulty.

Welcome to the forum.

Any room for a transformer or does it need to be self contained? I'm thinking the led version of the old G20 cabinet lights might be suitable.

Change the MCBs for RCBOs, your issue is earth leakage across shared circuits. Currently you have 30mA earth leakage max, whereas RCBOs give 30mA per circuit. It also sounds like the new inverter has higher earth leakage than the old unit. You also shouldn't be sharing RCDs with solar inverters...

Welcome to the forum

I'm intrigued by the tape on the main fuse. I think you need to contact your local DNO to report a potentially dangerous fuse carrier - it won't cost you anything to do so, or any repairs.

try 2 panel pins in a bit of wood

I have a Triton remote shower unit, it was significantly cheeper than the Mira version at £500ish, it's been fine for 8 years, but generally I fit Mira and nothing else.

because someone told them too, and to cover there bums!

I would check your terminations for clamping on the cable insulation

I would say Crabtree is the choice for many schools I've worked in.
