Have you ever felt a shock from a tap or shower?? That ālittle tingleā in the shower? Itās a critical red flag. šæš¦·š©I got called out to an Airbnb where the guests felt a ābiteā from the shower mixer. A lot of people would ignore this, but as a specialist, I knew we were looking at a documented fail. šµļøāāļøSupply voltage: 239V.
Shower mixer: 18.4V. Thatās live current sitting on the metalwork due to a major earthing failure. In a wet environment, this is how a āminor issueā becomes a life threatening situation. ā”ļøI thought 18V was the end of it... until I checked the incoming supply. Part 4 tonight is going to be pure madness. š¤Æā”ļø
