How are hand wires in toilets wired up?

johnwicklover

So how are hand dryers usually wired in a radial circuit?

Is the supply cable from consumer board connected to supply side of a FCU and then the load side connected to wago connectors (L and N have their own connectors). Then hand dryer connected to the wago connectors. Then a second FCU is connected to the wago connector and the load side of second FCU  connected to the Hand dryer.

Thanks.

    I'm not sure where the wagos(or choc blocks) fit in - typically a flex outlet FCU is used with the flex connected to the outgoing FCU terminals - the supply circuit then loops through the incoming terminals of each FCU.

    I you wanted the FCU out of reach, then hard-wire to a flex outlet plate and take the flex from there - but they mostly come with their own terminals built-in too (perhaps cheaper ones don't so you might have to provide your own terminals then).

    So kind of like this? The incoming supply is looped in.

    Earthing isn't shown.

    That is fine for multiple dryers ( which isn't clear in your first post ) so long as the supply cable and circuit breaker are large enough to feed 2 dryers. You may have a little leaway if the dryers are not used too much at the same time.
