A few things come to mind.
Did you turn the breaker on before the tank fillede? Heater elements take 19 amps and operate one at a time. It's possible that you wired the thermostats so both elements came on at the same time drawing 38 amps. That would blow a 30 amp breaker every time the states called for heat. Check your wiring. Good luck. Tom |
