I was wrong. U are right. The power socket in the toilet need to be of the isolation transformer kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoongf 11 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Hotel bathroom kind are the big box kind.. inside got a transformer, that will trip the circuit there and then if got any problem, is also limited to 5A, and also act as a 230-110V step down transformer. Is not uncommon to see ppl have hairdryer right next to the basin. It depends on electrician / homeowner whether want to be conservative or not lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMC 12 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 i only ask about my hdb toilet....other types of bldgs i donno.Did u ask them if you have a 13A/15A socket for instant heater, and if you accidentally splash on the inter-connect then how.?IMO, so long your wall socket is not within the shower area, it is still alright. and just make sure the wall socket is at least 1' above floor. And most importantly lightning arrester must be fuctioning and properly grounded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
