Shower isolator switch

[sparky1966]

hi everyone,

Just a quick question.

If you go to a hotel and have a shower there is never an isolator switch for you to use. i thought a shower circuit needed an isolator or am i wrong?

I hope you can help.

Cheers

Most hotels dont use electric showers, usually mixer showers from a preheated hot supply.

Electric showers definitely need local isolation. All fixed equipment should be provided with means of isolation for maintenance etc. As nikmet said, they may not be electric showers etc.
