unless you are accomplished or an electrician then lifting floorboards etc can be a little daunting for ordinary unaccustomed folks - on a few occaisions problematic for those used to it too. but yes it is a sensible consideration too.

the most important thing to me is can it be stopped easily and readily by all all who might need to. if it is purely connected along with a fan and the whole lot together or separately can be switch off then ok. if its got timed overun or such then it needs to be capable of being switched off...

As an aside, ref the zones, the height of zone one and therefore zone 2 is purely from fininshed floor level but if the bath is mounted on a box then I think most of us would accept the place where the bath feet rest to effectively become the new finished floor level. But what size are presumed...

Bonding has the potential (excuse that word "potential") to make installations safer, although it can also have the opposite effect of making things unsafer - a bit like the seat belt scenario, thought to predominantly improve safety yet under some conditions increases the danger. The outcome...

LOL :giggle:

Well, it is a good job that people do not talk about a system that includes the earthing (or grounding) of cars etc or else we would all need to drive around with straps of rubber stuff conducting from chasis to the road surface

Well so long as nobody refers to them as a Ground Fault Circuit Interupter or something I think it might be OK ;)

Yes it is not as uncommon as you might hope, with all of the services. Where I live a lot of the housing stockis sandstone terrace house built about 1910 mostly but a good measure over the years of other uildings of newer ages. The local council at the time used to supply the electrics before it...

John yes we are in complete agreement on all of this, I am purely looking at the name we use to differentiate between the two devices as a sort of "starter for ten" rather than being technologicaly correct, I`m happy enough with the two terms Voltage Operated v Current Operated in this respect...

Yep, i`ll not disagree with that John, in essence. What I was attempting was , what is the best (easiest) way to refer to them in comparison, loosley we calls the current operated (RCD like, comparing currents) or voltage operated (comparing voltages) as a ready distinguishable different kind of...

Could we say that effective it is a rough attempt to compare two voltages 1/ being near true earth local to the installation and the other is the earth at the consumers earth bar, these will always be at different potentials wherever you go on this planet of ours but if we reckon it does not...

That’s good image on phone and WiFi o

Oohhh a bit ruf?

Thanks Flameport
