Hi,
My bathroom extractor fan comes on when the light pull-switch is switched on; the fan then goes off some time after the lights are switched off.
Okay. There's a switched fcu in the bathroom - this isolates the fan. Since the switch is actually in the way (from a decorating point of view), as well as being in the bathroom, I wanted to move it to outside the room.
Okay so far. When I come to open the fcu, this is what I see - 2 cables going in, both of which are 3+E. Earth cores are connected to the earth terminal, and the yellow wires are twisted together with some kind of cover over the ends. The L and N are connected to the L and N supply and load terminals. I then notice that the fcu is carrying a 13A fuse.
Is this all very wrong? Any ideas for the best course of action?
Cheers.
