Slowly figuring out what's what in a new house. This is in a bathroom cupboard, I assume for a water heater or similar, any ideas if I'm right. Would like to get power into the cupboard (regs allowing), not sure yet if there's power to this though.
You are right. It should be just a 15A circuit. Do you still have fuses in a fuse board?I assume for a water heater or similar, any ideas if I'm right.
You can swap for normal socket(s) but will be limited to 15A.Would like to get power into the cupboard (regs allowing), not sure yet if there's power to this though.
All circuit breakers - two boxes, one of which is labelled with stuff like 'storage heaters'. There aren't any in the house. There's one labelled 'downflow' which I've figured out powers the boiler. I'll wager this is wired up to one of those, if it's wired to anything, but there's nothing to indicate which one.You are right. It should be just a 15A circuit. Do you still have fuses in a fuse board?
My understanding is that as it's a cupboard, with door, it'd be permitted under regs, but that sparkies may well not be willing. For referenceSockets are not permitted in bathrooms unless they are more than 3metres from a shower or bath.
So forget having a double 13A one there to plug in the hair dryer!
.doors, floors and fixed partitions may be taken into account where these effectively limit the extent of locations containing a bath or shower as well as their zones.
Will try and do that later, but my lunchbreak fun must come to and end for now...Can you post a picture of the area round the consumer units, meter etc?
Yes, I think that's all true.My understanding is that as it's a cupboard, with door, it'd be permitted under regs, but that sparkies may well not be willing.
