No it wasn’t one of those, though I have gotten a surprise from them a few times.

This was a small wall mounted unit with a thermoblock heater. There was no ground of course.

Found 'em

Honestly I thought about it and I’m not sure what the intention was. It could have been mounted on the other side of the wall (outside the bathroom) just as easily.

I’ll have to dig it up but I have a photo of the old electric meter from the same place. It was buzzing quite loudly, then it melted. It would have been marginal when installed and was connected to only lights and ceiling fans, then they did a reno and added aircon and water heaters.

The wood bullet into the tile grout was a nice touch I thought.

This is a 20 amp circuit breaker, not only is it unprotected, when it failed someone bypassed it instead of replacing it with something correct. If you took a shower in the morning and water splashed on these open contacts you wouldn’t need coffee to get your heart started.
