isolator for extractor fan in bathroom.

Does that work with smells as well?

all depends on how wet they are

although its mentioned in osg cant find any reference to the rule in the brb.

dont think anyone pays much attention to the 3a fuse rule, however there was a case a couple years ago where although unrelated to the cause of fan catching fire the spark was blamed for not following manufacturers instructions.

Dont have the fan controlled by the light.I dont like that practice one little bit
Isolator and seperate pull cord,you can use a switched fused spur( D/p switching) as the isolator and then 3 amp fuse it
Everything covered then,the isolation,the control.the night nuisance

Jamesb1 that sounds an interesting alternative solution. Cheers for the guidance. timmy 123

It seems to me to be the same logic which requires LSF cable in case there's a fire because it doesn't emit noxious fumes; what do you run that in? PVC trunking.
Or the same logic which requires fire rated P clips for FP cable to stop it falling down and obstructing firefighters, but the other cables are somehow fine held together in a bunch with a nylon cable tie.

If anything i would have thought it would make more sense to use an isolator if there IS a window because the window would reduce the need for forced ventilation, so you could happily switch the fan off if for instance you wanted to go for a pee in the night without the fan waking everyone else in the house.

Thats why you are meant to use steel cable ties on fire alarms, not plastic ones but I see where you are coming from

i mount a fuse spur above the bathroom door on the inside that isolates the bathroom lights,fan shaver point and mirror light,

Shouldn't that be on the outside?

 

[antimatter]
