Reg. 559.5.1.206 E.S. Lampholders.

Zoomup
Why does the above regulation exempt E.S. lampholders if they comply with  BS EN 60238 from being connected in a specific way, i.e. with the outer connection being connected to the neutral of the supply please? Are they inherently safe?


Thanks in advance.

    Assuming that N is at or close to earth potential, if you poke a finger in, the first bit that you will touch will not give you a shock and with further insertion, only your finger tip gets zapped.


    However, if the outer part were live, there would be a risk of hand to foot shock.
