Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This Question of the Day, concerning a shower power supply, is answered by MK Electric:
Question: I am looking for clarification about the supply circuit for shaver sockets. The shower supply circuit - 40A RCD protected - is right next to the location of intended shaver socket, but a long way from any other power source. Can I incorporate a socket into the shower power supply, and what would be the most sensible way to achieve this?
Answer: The short answer is definitely NOT!
Please be advised that all shaver points must be wired from a lighting circuit or fused connection unit. Please see the attached instruction information - click below to download the attachment (.PFD doc - 25.7kB).
