Hi
This reg relates to elements of water heaters that are not insulated, not electrode based water heaters. It states that a separate earth must be provided in addition to the CPC. It seems that some showers also follow this principle.
Anyone know of any modern day domestic showers that use this method? If so, do the manufactures state that a separate earth should be used or state that the water is heated with an uninstalled element?
Also, how can this even work without the risk of electric shock - i may have answered my own question and that maybe this is an industrial practice in a controlled environment only? But still it seems dodgy?
Cheers
John
