    A loose connection can cause heat, even with a 10 amp load, and cause the CB to trip.
    I had one customer that had a 20, (twenty) amp load tripping a 200, Two hundred, amp MCB, all because of a loose nut bolting the breaker tab to the panel bus bar.

    I was only able to find it using infrared detector.

    Or the MCB is defective.

    Changing a Main Breaker requires the help of a professional. And often the utility is needed as they do not allow electrician to pull the utility meter. Some do, some don't
