fitting washing machine in bathroom

Zone 3 The regulations do not specify any IP number for zone 3, however reference should be made to the manufacturers data in case it indicates any exclusion. Portable electrical equipment is not permitted other than that using a SELV or shaver unit.

Find another electrician.

You may well be correct. The only question would be, I suppose, is whether or not it is still classed as a portable appliance.

Agreed. The washing machine is not a portable appliance it is a "non fixed current using device".

The washer will need to be fed via a 30mA RCD and the location of the fused spur may be limited (I used a labelled fused spur in my parents kitchen to feed a flex outlet plate for the washer in their bathroom). The fused spur or flex outlet plate will of course need to be part of the supplementary (NOT earth) bonding.

No -- it's often referred to as a stationary appliance.

Hi , I would'nt do it.

Just my penny worth.

Wasted a penny then.

Adam

But that's the best room to spend a penny...

Of course the OP didn't say what type of washing machine (dish washing machine, perhaps?) or where "his" bathroom was (local restuarant, perhaps?)

We make these assumptions, whereas, it could be a penny well spent..

;)

I have just re-read

I have never seen a house with a washing machine in the bathroom (LOL - not even in a makeover show).

It's beyond me that anyone would even think of doing it.

You should get out more and watch less TV.

Kitchen too small perhaps.

Adam

idea unless you want to watch your smalls

Putting the electrical safety aspect aside for a moment, when you think about it the a bathroom does seems a more logical location for washing your s***ty underwear in comparison to a kitchen where food is prepared.
