Zones

[PheonixFoX12]

Hi all,

On holiday to a remote location this week.

Just a little something caught my eye:

I know that part 7 in the regs is all about special locations and zones for electrical equipment. Would it not be unreasonable to assume that when someone could accidentally spray water into the shower fan?

Only reading the MI’s could confirm whether this is a problem or not

I understand this Murdoch. I was meaning more along the lines of if someone was using the shower then it could be possible for a fan drenching.

If its a 12v fan then no problem

Fans are designed for very damp air, so would probably survive a short direct hit with water.

Even if you were very tall and had the shower head right at the top if the riser, I doubt much water would hit the fan in normal use. Of course if you wanted to prove a point you could squirt water straight into it.

I would have chosen an SELV fan for that location personally.
