About this deal

Plugwash's final suggestion is the one to go for - just change the plugs on your appliances and have done with it. Ideally look for a model with double wound isolating transformer, integral overload protection and shutters on the plug inlets to prevent any accidental splashing. In both cases, the cables are run down through the ceiling and down a chase cut into the wall to run to both locations

The cable was then secured in place using UPVC capping to not only hold it but also protect it from any damage that might from any potential future work.I am moving from the Netherlands to Ireland and I bought many European to UK travel adaptors to fit my (European plug) appliances which I'm intending to take with me. They are shaver adaptors with a 1 Amp fuse. Now, after doing some more research, I came to realize that this plug as it is, will do for shavers and electric toothbrushes but not for other appliances. For those "other" appliances that I want to use in Ireland can I change that existing 1 Amp fuse with a 3 Amp fuse or a 5 Amp fuse or a 13 Amp fuse? I am aware and already realize that I cannot use these adaptors for my washing machine and I also do not intend to take my refrigerator with me but what about the rest? You have to be particularlly carefull with the german/dutch schuko plugs because they use side clips not pins for earthing. This means it is easy to end up with a situation where an appliance that needs earthing for safe operation has it's live and neutral pins connected but not it's earth pins. If either of the above are ignored, if any issues occur and you cannot produce a certificate for the works then there is a good chance that your home insurance will be invalid, so it certainly isn’t worth the risk. In this example here we are using an existing lighting circuit so a 1mm twin and earth cable is run out from the top of the ceiling rose, down through the ceiling and down a chase that was cut into the wall. In the UK there are very strict rules on who can and cannot do certain electrical jobs. This is mainly due to the fact that, as we all know, electricity is extremely dangerous and when working on or around it, it is essential that you know what you are doing.

As we have mentioned above, when running down a wall to a power supply unit such as this the cable will need to run vertically down in a straight line to comply with regulations. Zone 1 – the area directly above zone 0, limited vertically to 2.25m above the bottom of the bath or shower, also 1.2m horizontally from the centre of a shower outlet to the height of the outlet, or 2.25m whichever is the higher Using electrical equipment in bath or shower rooms has always needed great care to ensure safety due to the obvious risks of mixing water and electricity.You can only use shavers & toothbrushes with that adaptor, nothing larger & nothing that requires an earth connection. A Rating Ideal for all Applications - 3A for up to 720W, 5A between 720W and 2100W, 10A between 2100W and 2400W, 13A between 2400W and 3120W The cable is then normally capped (covered with a protective UPVC capping) or run through some UPVC trunking/pipe to protect it and hold it in place. There are adaptor plugs available to safely convert these to the UK style plug without having to take the existing plug off. There are many types of adaptors on the market and knowing what is suitable for what purpose is important to get a safe and reliable result.

Unfortunately most stores only carry the first two categories and often provide poor information about what they are suitable for

Once a suitable supply has been found the next task is to isolate the supply to the circuit you are using! If in any doubt, the power to the entire house is turned off. Suitable for accepting the plugs fitted to electric shavers and standard 2-pin continental mains plugs" As previously mentioned, if you are sing a lighting circuit make sure it’s RCD protected. If it isn’t then you can’t use it. Below is another example of the same plug I bought (I bought the same type at ASDA) and it has a plastic grounding with a 1 Amp fuse.

Zone 2 – the area beyond zones 0 and 1, 0.6m horizontally and up to 2.25m vertically. Zone 2 also includes any recessed window with a sill next to the bath and also around the wash basin Once in place the cable was then tested to ensure there were no breaks etc. This is a necessary step as once the cable is filled over it’s a nightmare to have to dig it all out if it’s damaged.Once all the wires have been connected, the face plate is then screwed on to the pattress box, fixing it in place. Zone 0 – the interior of the bath or shower which can hold water. No appliances should be installed here period! When securing wires ensure that the retaining screw that holds the wire in place is tightened fully and that it has plenty of bare wire to clamp down on to.
