Thatched wiring - ways to make safer

[mainline]

A more pertinent question would be, how much electricity does a shaver socket use, when it’s NOT being used….

Is there any wastage, just leaving it connected with nothing plugged in?

Same question with a usb socket… if nothing plugged in.

I haven't seen a shaver socket that doesn't disconnect the transformer when the shaver is unplugged.

Usb socket draws about 0.05W when nothing is plugged in

I'm just about halfway though fitting usb sockets one each side of the beds in holiday cottages 13 in the one house all on one ring final.

Out of interest, what's the expected earth leakage current on that ring final once all the USB sockets are fitted?

There was no rise in earth leakage.

Good to know, thanks.
