Check out the hair dryer in that bath video on youtube throws a hairdryer in the tub turned on and measure the amperage something like 10 times thee amount that will kill you   He then dose it again via an rcd but this time he puts his arm in the tub aswell   “click” he says he did not feel...

Rcd everything 

Who’s rules do you follow 

so I thought I’d give the Niceic help desk a called and he said  correct there not in bs7671 therefore making them a departure from bs7671 if you want to use them then that’s up to you and it’s your responsibility for the safety of them  why why would I want to do something outside of my big...

You guys have helped me a lot, I thank you  Oh to be a spark
