if fan instructions ask for 3 amp fuse and you dont fit, then if there is an issue with fan overhating and subsequent fire then said spark is liable if proven by insurance assesors. In my eyes only way to do it is to isolate bathroom lighting with switch fuse spur.

Hi
I have seen a couple of posts on this subject but they go back a bit and dont appear to have a definitive answer. I have a MEM Memera 2000 CU, where I need to provide RCBO protection to the lighting circuit to cover some additions I have made in the bathroom. There is already a Eaton 16A...
none. I tell the customer my price covers a days labour to swap the CU and remedy any faults. If I have to come back the next day, its extra. Some days I am out in 5-6 hours others I am there al ady and back the next.
"Functioning quite safely without a problem..." now theres a phrase. Surely a lot of faults only manifest themselves under fault conditions, and a PIR/EICR is there to pick that up.
