Also, if let's say I install a waterproof case, it is OK to install a RCD there? My unit is all with 15A socket, so can this socket connect to RCD and this RCD connect to heater? I assume it is OK while outside the toilet, there is normal double pole switch.

Should I use normal 1P+N RCD or 2P RCD?

Print out the website from Enduser and show it to the developer. That is the TNB new rules.

My house already using RCD for over 10yrs.

Meaning DB box should be fitted with a RCD?

If you look at the picture, top left, there is this water valve, and what happen if this water valve leak? water will go directly to the elcb.  What a "Professional" installer. Behind the ELCB is water pipe, is also crazy.

So is it OK if it is installed above e water outlet?

Ain't it ugly to install such protector there? beside not safe.

Try install ontop far away or outside the bathroom. Get a proper design RCD which look better. I already post some example above.

If have 2P, than get the 2P.

It means we are shortchanged? Anyway, replacement is to just replace this ELCB with a RCD right?

The model number is CE240B from Hager. Is this ELCB or RCD? Because I see this word Earth Fault Indicator...

Yup. Ask your developer if it is a new house.

"A residual-current device (RCD), or residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric current is not balanced between the energized (line) conductor(s) and the return (neutral) conductor"

Is is a RCD.

Only if the pipe not in the wall, and way above or away from water reachable area. Last time we had a maid when she clean the bathroom, she was till the top tiles that mean the ceiling also wet smile.gif can you imagine such maid wash this bathroom. Sure get electrocuted.
