I'm wondering if any Piclisters in OZ,NZ, know where I might be able to=20
purchase a speciality power point.

I am looking for two Clipsal ML2015/15VI - these are 15A power points with=
=20
an inbuilt RCD. Clipsal list these as medical electrical equipment and the=
=20
usual electrical wholesalers don't seem to stock them or won't answer my=20
questions as I'm not an electrician (Electrics is basically a closed shop=20
business in Aus), and as I no longer work with medical equipment, I don't=20
have the hospital contacts I once had.

I'm specifically looking for these as I'm revamping my kitchen and=20
bathroom, and hope to install point of dispense water heaters (as seen in=20
China, which happens to be where mine came from), these are basically a tap=
=20
with a water heater inside and partly because I don't trust manufacturing=20
quality and partly because they are not electrically certified for use in=20
Australia, my safety fall back is an RCD at the power point - water and=20
electrickery (sic) mixing and all that. I have PAT tested it and it passed,=
=20
but of course it wasn't connected to water at the time.

I'm happy to buy 4 if there is a minimum quantity, I believe they are=20
around AUS$38.00 each plus GST.

For enquiring minds, I am convinced (calcs on back of envelopes) that only=
=20
heating water when it is required is much much cheaper to run (and wastes=20
less water) than immersion heaters or solar hot water, unless of course=20
people need baths or bulk hot water available, which I don't (being=20
British, I only wash once a year, and then, only if it is raining)**.
