First make certain it is wired correctly and make certain if it is the correct voltage. 120 or 220.

@manojkanth,
Get a 13+amp breaker.
Yours is likely too small.
Go for a 30amp with element-based products.

In short, don't force it; get a bigger hammer. Rolling Eyes

@edgarblythe,
I had a 13 - Fitted a shower, kept popping.
Threw a 30 in.
Ten years without issue.

@manojkanth,
Use ECO (Energy cut off) Trips for water heaters.
