Shaver socket in bathroom - hairdryer?

[Spark123]

I don't think that confederacy has a clue what he is on about - also as the OP was still working to the 16th edn regs his reply is pointless.

Unless you have a exceptionally large bathroom, your best option is to use your hair dryer in another room.

I was thinking of putting an Arc Welder in the bathroom. Will that run off of the usual Shaver Socket wiring Confederacy?

No, that's silly.
There won't be enough power.

Very silly.
Of course it won't work.



My advice would be to tee off from the door bell transformer, that'll be fine

On the primary or secondary? Perhaps with a large enough bell transformer, some parts of the welder could be emitted completely? Should save a few pounds.

but (per the above)

• not suitable for lighting circuit
  power circuit will require RCD per 17th edition
  requires LABC notification

Maybe he's the guy who thought you could wire an electric shower by pushing 1.5mm into the cutout

Remember that one? lol (and if anyone has the pictures from that thread as it got killed off before I had chance to save them )

If you can mount an accessory 3m horizontally from the edge of zone 1, you may consider fitting a standard BS1363 socket outlet for your hairdryer, or an IP equivalent.
