Electric Shower isolator ?

aligarjon

Hi guys.

I have just done an EICR on a rental. They have relatively recently had a shower installed (brown/blue cable) with no local isolator fitted. The CU is quite old so the mcb's can't be locked off and neither can the up front rcd. Does a C3 sound right or no code just a mention. I have looked at a couple of Mira installation manuals for reference and they state recommended isolation switch rather than requires so as far as i can see not a manufacturers instruction either.

    Last weekend, I stayed in guest accommodation. In the bedroom, there was a ceiling mounted switch. It isolated (or at least interrupted the line) the shower in the en suite. In the bathroom, there was a similar switch for the lights.

    If somebody felt that the shower should be isolated outside the room, or zones, it could well have been by an ordinary wall-mounted switch.

    I fear that there is a lot of confusion.
