That would be perfect! But i believe its asking too much of these manufacturers, i don't see the need for additional fusing just for a pigging bathroom fan! Have a look at these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Manrose/BGCF100_200.pdfA bit of both lol. Wish I'd written it a bit better now! Actually I've just read a set of Manrose instructions and it doesn't state before the light or anything sensible.
What I want is a fan which doesn't need a fuse!! Now that would be good.

That's what i said earlier, it asks for 3A dp isolation and if you look at that poxy little diagram its installed before the light switch, not very clear though and i wouldn't arse about with that anyway when a tp isolator is a much better way to goExcept this asks for a 3A fuse and DP isolation!
Is there any fans out there that DON'T specify 3A fuse protection?

Careful with your innuendo! There could be delicate females, DIY'ers or young apprentices reading this thread ........ :wink5:
But it probably would have been blocked by the forums bad word detector!lol Had it been all one word you would have got more laughs out of that!
That old cookie! So what do you do for 'light' when working on the light(s) in the bathroom ......
Ooh i love a mass debate! There is no requirement unless the manufacturer specifies it, i rarely fit an fcu, just the tp fan isolator will do in my eyes. The fcu would only be needed for the permenant live as that is what runs the fan motor, the switch live is just to trigger it if its a timer fan that is! If its not a timer fan then just an fcu would do the job as there would be no permenant live anyway!
He's quick on his toes with replying to posts! :biggrin5:
Set fire to the bog roll
When I was (much) younger, my Mum said if I didn't stop doing that I would go blind. Dad said I would go deaf.
Here I am all these years later, wearing glasses and booked-in for a hearing test next week.
Ah it's nice to see some of the old wives tales, myths and general heresay regarding bathroom fans rearing their heads again. Here's one for all you lot, I fit Soler & Palau fans whose manufacturers instructions don't require any form of fusing down. I am fully entitled to feed my fan from a light switch without a single fuse or a TP isolator in line and my work in doing so would be completely and utterly acceptable.
"Gotta have a TP isolator for maintenence in the dark"... Hogwash!
"Gotta have local isolation"... Tripe!
"Gotta fuse it down to 3A"... Claptrap!
Keep peddling these myths boys, it does the industry so many favours you know!
I have seen many of these threads and it bewilders me why anybody would think of controlling ventilation dependant on light use
