Using electrical equipment in bath or shower rooms has always needed great care to ensure safety due to the obvious risks of mixing water and electricity. No, not quite. A 2 pin plug found on an electric toothbrush or shaver has pins that are closer together than a traditional 2 pin EU mains adapter. What you may need though is a plug adapter. This is to convert the 2 pin adapter found on most charging stands in the UK and Europe to work with the power supply in the other country.

Once all the wires have been connected, the face plate is then screwed on to the pattress box, fixing it in place.For example, let’s say you live in the UK and are going to the USA and assuming you are going long enough that you need to charge your brush when there. Using the travel form the UK to the USA again, the ‘Step Up’ voltage converter has the 2 pin US connector on it, but actually offers up a 3 pin UK power adapter. However your toothbrush has the 2 pin adapter, so although you are travelling to the USA, you will need the 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. Why are 2 to 3 pin adapters not included with my electric toothbrush or shaver? All wires are then set into the wall and capped with protective sleeving and then all chases are filled, smoothed off and the either painted or tiled over. In the UK there are very strict rules on who can and cannot do certain electrical jobs. This is mainly due to the fact that, as we all know, electricity is extremely dangerous and when working on or around it, it is essential that you know what you are doing.

In the UK the mains electricity that you connect your appliances and gadgets into works on 240 volts. This is a high voltage and can cause serious injury and death if you were to touch a live electrical line. Bathrooms are deivided into designated zones, 0, 1, 2 and regulations cover what type of light, heater other appliances can or cannot be installed in the different zones.Skross Pro World Travel Adapter, 3-pole Travel Adaptor with Slide System, Designed in Switzerland... As we have mentioned above, when running down a wall to a power supply unit such as this the cable will need to run vertically down in a straight line to comply with regulations.

The cable was then secured in place using UPVC capping to not only hold it but also protect it from any damage that might from any potential future work.Zone 2 – the area beyond zones 0 and 1, 0.6m horizontally and up to 2.25m vertically. Zone 2 also includes any recessed window with a sill next to the bath and also around the wash basin You are best powering or charging each device independently as and when you need it. For example, connect and charge your toothbrush, when that is done, connect and charge your shaver or other appliance. Your comments If no supplies are this conveniently placed then it may be that you have to take up some floorboards in an above room and run your supply from here.

Zone 0 – the interior of the bath or shower which can hold water. No appliances should be installed here period! This is a good question and one I have often thought about myself. Including an adapter in the box would be a nice addition. The staff in Boots are wrong too. The Genius 9000 is the model they are talking about here. It has a travel case, which has a USB port on it. However, this USB port is like a pass-through power port and does not accept the charge into the case itself. To be honest, I would have done the same thing. Aside from the 2 pin AUS power connector, the UK voltage is very similar and will have likely been supported by your charging stand.Why is replacing a shaver plug the most obvious answer for charging outside a bathroom? (genuine question).
