Zone 3 Isolator

[Duncan Bennett]

I get mixed answers on this and wondered if I can get some help: Is it allowed to fit a three pole isolator switch (not cord operated) in zone 3 of a bath / shower room?

 

[gaz76]

there is no zone 3 anymore

Well my answer is that as there are only zones 0,1 and 2 , then zone 3 would be fine.

If your thinking zone 3 (16th edition) which is now zone 2 (17th Edition), then I'm afraid you can't, unless the switch is for a SELV circuit or is a shaver supply

Doh! My mistake!

I'm referring to Outside Zones - being more than .6m away from the bath / shower.

 

[malcolmsanford]

Then yes

but you can mount the isolator above 2.25m in any of the zones, i would normally put them as high as possible anyway

Thanks, Malcolm & Gaz. Much appreciated.
