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

Lidl not Aldi - Parkside Inspection Camera PK1 2.8 B2 IAN 385152_2107 . if that helps

Eric - I suspect that you have a sense of humour kiddo. i think they get sacked and heavily fined if they are caught ever telling the truth, a repeat offence is treason therefore a hanging offence ;)

Hmm not sure. I got one a few years back it was one of those "when its gone its gone!" things from Aldi and I got it for one specific job at the time, thinking it might be useful another two or three times in my working life, Unfortunately I sort of started windin down to retirement not long...

Yes perhaps but you can envisage why they were termed Curren or Voltage operated due to the way they effectively (almost) could be caused via either voltage or current differences although the coil actually operated via current in the coil so I reckon it is fair if not strictly true otherwise...

Blimey - Either a con man or totally thick!

Just to add, you still need to avoid splashes of water getting into the fan heater itself but that is almost always taken care of by the design of the fan heater itself and the vanity unit. In other words if you were just adding a bog standard fan heater itself you`d have to ensure you mount it...
