ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Photos for General Discussion Receptacle in Mirror

I think that cover is mirrored, because it is beveled.

My neighbor has exact same in master bath, but the plate is not beveled. I asked about it and she said it was store bought. First time I had seen such.

UK 240V is 240V to ground, unlike US 240V. It's derived from a three-phase 240/415V system (nowadays nominal 230/400V).
However, the "no receptacles in bathrooms" code is a specific UK thing. In all other European countries I know such receptacles would be ok. Never seen it though.

Our "code" permits a 240V outlet in a bathroom for a shaver, so long as it is fed via 1:1 isolating transformer so that it is floating with respect to ground.

But then again, it would need a 120V GFI-protected buddy right beside it.

That makes me think that perhaps it would be better to include this type of scenario in the NEC. People move here and bring many of their compatible (or not ) appliances with them. They were protected overseas, and here they're not.
