Just wondering if anyone has opinions on wet room zones.  Been asked to quote to install a hairdryer in a wet room in a commercial office block (proper thing with a handset on a hose) IPX4. The room is quite large, don't know exact measurements as not been to look yet.  Anyway, the shower hose...

Had a fault on a double head lighting column other day (2x250w metal halide). As soon as i put the cut out back in, it blew the fuse. Tested absolutely everything, and everything clear. Changed all gear, ballasts, ignitors and capacitors, put a new 6A fuse in cut out, blew again. Connected one...

Does anyone know where in BRB the max Zs readings are for BS3871 mcb's?
