Discuss CONNECTING EARTH TO DOUBLE INSULATED WALL LIGHT FITTING in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
This is just a hypothetical question. I cannot see any danger in it.Metalwork of a Class II should not be connected to earth but if the Class II isn't being use a a protection measure then probably not. Is it really Class II or a foreign producer claiming it is, a pic may help.
I agree, but it would be no more dangerous than a class 1 fitting that was earthed.But the only danger would probably be in the unlikely circumstances the exposed metalwork became live for other reasons such as ADS failure on a TT or open-pen etc…
But in the event of a fault (as per post #6), an installer who earthed the fitting that was not required to be earthed (in fact they modified it!) could be blamed for a tragedy that followed? (the dreaded "not following manufacturers instructions").I agree, but it would be no more dangerous than a class 1 fitting that was earthed.
I know how s**t these supposed double insulated metal fittings are, so yes if I could earth it I would.
