Bathroom Fan/Light

[MAD SPARK]

Dont know if anyones ever seen one of those fans with a downlight built in to it........??.. I cant find a link to one of the web.

Anyway. It has a transformer for the light and then the fan just gets connected seperatly 230V....

Does the fan need to have a fan isolator? It will be on its own independant switch on a simple on/off and the light incorporated in it will come on with the rest of the downlights.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

I can understand the precuation with windows vista, but with windows 7 being more reliable you can do without the isolator.

Thanks for al the useful help !

So to summarise I do not have to have one and it can go as a code 4 on the certificate with not much to worry about.If i did fit one it has to be a isolater that only switched live conductors so 2 pole.No requirement to switch earth surely.A 3 pole is required to switch both live feeds,the permanent one for the overun and the switch live to start it when the light come one.

Thanks

hmm i think a pull switch is most reliable option if your going to stay with windows xp. that way wet hands stay away from the desktop...good practice in my opinion

Roger, you do have to have one, the code 4 refers to what you would put on a pir if you were testing an installation and found there not to be one for that installation. You would complete an eic.

what is this window obsession everyone has?!!! who started this ?? own up. am i being retarded here ?but please what has a window got to do with mechanical maintenance or isolation of an electric fan. i want a proper answer!

My NIC man said if the room has a window you can isolate the whole lighting circuit and still see to work on the fan with the light from the window (that is if there is a break in the clouds) so he says.
