Non-Conducting Location.

To reduce costs I am considering creating a non-conducting location in a wooden holiday chalet.


The maintenance of the wooden building will be by skilled and instructed persons only.


The chalet is wooden framed and has wooden external ship lap with a water proof membrane in between the outside ship lap and inner plasterboard. . The roof is glass fibre. The wooden floor is supported on wooden joists on a concrete base. The flooring will be vinyl coverings. All window frames are plastic.


The main water supply pipe is plastic. There is no gas supply at all either mains or bottled gas. 


There are no extraneous-conductive -parts.


No outside equipment will be used.


All wiring accessories will be all insulated.


Appliances can be separated by at least 2.5m distance.


Can I safely apply 418.1.3?


Thanks,


Z.

  • What do you mean by introducing protective conductors into the location? The whole chalet IS the location.



    Imagine a plug connected to a 3-core flex - the G/Y core is a protective conductor and would thus be within the location.

     

    the chalet is not for use by the general public only the on-site maintenance manager



    Ah, so not so much a holiday chalet in the sense that anyone will go there for a holiday - more of a tied cottage - just accommodation for an employee?
