Bathroom Extractor Fan Wiring

[dingbat]

If you wish to look at it that way, yes. But wouldn't it be both convenient and safer to work on your fan with the lights on?

Also, should you sell up and move on, the presence of a dedicated fan isolator, situated where it can be seen and used, means a new owner can replace the fan without the detective work of figuring out how it is supplied.

Good points well made. One final question as you seem to know what you're talking about. One other guy asked this question but didn't get a straight answer...If I'm connecting the fan to a lighting circuit do I have to fit a FCU? I know it would be desireable but do I have to for the unit to be safe? If I do, do you know of any kind of FCU that can be used in the bathroom environment to prevent me having to dig channels in walls etc outside?

Thanks for all your help!

no you don't need a FCU just a 3 pole fan isolator

Many thanks for all your help. This is a great forum. Very few give real answers and certainly not this quickly. I build websites for a living and this is good work. Well done!

You'd best thank the owners then, none of us own it
