Our HWC switch on the main electric panel has been tripping for the passed week, I thought I repaired it by resetting the main and earth switches but the problem persisted days later. I noticed that the resistance of the HWC (geyser) switch is weak, which I think is the cause of it immediately falling down once pushed up.

I have a secondary DB board for a cottage. The cottage is fed either from eskom or my solar, but the cottage geyser drains the solar battery. There is a meter in the secondary board. The work I require is either to run a second wire from the main board to the second board for the geyer and have a second meter, or to take a feed from other circuits in the secondary board to feed some lights and plugs from the solar during load shedding - also requiring a second meter I think. Hopefully there is space in the board for a second meter. Then there is a circuit that is disconnected because it caused a leakage trip, probably due to a shared neutral, shared between the main and secondary boards.
