Nartel® 10 X 1 AMP SHAVER FUSES BS646 1AMP MINI FUSE 20MM X 5MM

Product Information

A “chase” ( see out project on cutting chases here for more information) is cut down into the wall in a straight vertical line down to the location of the shaver socket. 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.

And that means that you should not replace the fuse or use it for anything which draws more than 1A. Once the cable route has been mapped out any chases are cut out and then the correct sized cable is run from the supply location to the shaver socket location via the FCU if required. A supply cable is run from the source, out to and through the FCU and then back down the chase to the install site.

Ideally look for a model with double wound isolating transformer, integral overload protection and shutters on the plug inlets to prevent any accidental splashing. Theese have a higher current rating than shaver adaptors and can be used with some earthed plug types. But what's actually the difference then between this (number 4) adaptor and number 1 shaver adaptor?

Plugwash's final suggestion is the one to go for - just change the plugs on your appliances and have done with it. You have to be particularlly carefull with the german/dutch schuko plugs because they use side clips not pins for earthing. As socket circuits carry more current than the lighting circuit mentioned above you can’t simply run a wire from a socket straight to your shaver socket, as we have stated above you will also need a fused connection unit (FCU) between the two. Where you can only install in zone 2 ensure that the you place your shaver socket as far away from any water sources as possible to reduce any chance of splashing.If you are chasing cables then you can run the supply feed cable down the chase from above and then the shaver supply back up the chase and out to the shaver socket. 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. edition on-site guide) all state specific “Zones” in which appliances such as shaver sockets can be installed, see image below. 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? Once a suitable supply has been found the next task is to isolate the supply to the circuit you are using!
