| After doing many renovations and rewires here, I would like to add a warning to anyone tinkering with an existing installation.
DO NOT assume that the water heater breaker is connected to the mains after the main switch. Quite often wire strippers here will connect the live side of the breaker directly to the mains wiring coming into the house to save a bit of copper. This means the next protective device between you and electrocution is the pole fuse and they are much less sensitive than even the most basic circuit breaker.
