i dont know if Paul UK can post on here a picture of the new regs regarding bathrooms..
This amendment gives the rules, including diagrams of the zones:
http://www.iee.org/Publish/WireRegs/Amd_3.pdf Andy,
was ist der Unterschied zwischen Receptacle, Outlet und Socket? oder ist das alles dasselbe?
and
socket are the same thing.
Receptacle is the usual American name;
socket is used in Britain.
Outlet can refer to any point where power is delivered. (I think you would refer to this as
Anschluß ?) An outlet may be a receptacle/socket, or may also be a fixed device such as a wall-light.
Hope you can understand that; I'm afraid my language skills aren't good enough to explain that in German!
wa2ise,
Polarity isn't considered a big deal for portable appliances in Europe.
Equipment is indeed designed to treat hot & neutral as being exchangeable in most cases. This includes appliances built to British Standards, which makes the fuss about correct polarization here a little excessive.
