My electric shower keeps tripping the fuse/breaker on my fuse board, Also the fuse gets very hot

best answer

Your electric shower could be working at a higher amp-age than the fuse. This means that your fuse, by tripping, is doing its job, you could have a 10Kw shower but the circuit supplying the electricity is fused at 7Kw. The fuse may also be faulty but this is unlikely.

It could be time to consult an electrician and get it tested.
