Adding fused spur for bathroom extactor

[Dave K2]

Hi - I'm planning to fit an extractor with timer to a bathroom, switching on with the lights and had bought a fan isolator switch, but reading the Manrose instructions they insist on double pole fused spur with 3A fuse.

I think it will be easiest to fit a switched fuse spur and not bother with the fan isolator - this will be fitted outside the bathroom above the doorway.

Just figuring out the easiest way to fit this in since the extractor needs live and switched live.

Current setup

Suggested:

I have also seen options that suggest to use a double pole pull switch instead and then only the extractor fan is protected by the fuse - suggestions?

An old fart like me with singles

So bloody annoying when people say you must have a mft, by the time they have finished faffing around with it I have tested half a dozen circuits.

Easier to carry the IR tester around fault finding when you get to my age too lol.

LoL I spoiled myself this month and bought myself a new Megger tpt320 voltage tester as my 30+ year old Stienel needs a rest.
The Stienel does not need batteries though so it is still in the bag.

Regardless of whether a MFT or AVO8 is used, I think we can safely say that nothing like any testing is going to be carried out for this diy job.

When I worked on the Opencast coal mining we got a historical 1 hour a day pay steaming up time.

Course you are right but its most probably a class 2 plastic fan off a light circuit so realistically what would you expect him or any one to test, no disrespect intended

The existing circuit for suitability for alteration as well as the required tests for the alterations.
He was also on about adding in a FCU and fan isolator.

Just to clear this up - obviously highly skilled task, with specialist equipment needed. What specific qualification/certificates would any prospective electrician doing the job need to have and I'll make sure to check?

Hes connecting a fan to a light, as long as he is reasonably sensible he will be fine. Sometimes it' easy to be over petantic
