What was wrong was fitting a fan in a shower before knowing whether or not it was right or wrong to do so in the first place! Do you own a regs book?

 

[baazab]

yes regs says yes but i said to be in safe place find more from help e/foroum

why gordie spark you saying im not allowed to fit it there its only 12v

No he isn't saying that, it is your comment regarding manufacturers he responed to.

If the fan you posted is the one you used then it's IP57, 7 being 'temporary' immersion of enclosure in water. The check reg 701.55

I mean you are an idiot for fitting the thing WITHOUT reading the Manufacturers Instructions first!

Step 1. Open box containing fan.

Step 2. Remove fan and Manufactures Instructions from box.

Step 3. Put fan to one side and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!

Step 4. Fit the fan - as described in the Manufacturers Instructions !!!

THEN you will know you have fitted it correctly and will have no problems with customers telling you you have done it wrong and no need to ask others if it's right or wrong.

It makes my mind boggle - The manufacturers go to the trouble of printing the instructions and YOU can't be bothered to read them!! :banghead:

bazaab. just to put youout of your misery, there's nothing wrong with your work. it's the failure to read the instructions that's got you the stick.

I am not saying this at all but I will say this: If you want to work in this country, learn to speak and understand the language properly before you even think about starting working with such a potentially dangerous thing as electricity!

Doesn't sound like you have done much wrong. Always check manufactures specs for suitability. If the fan is ceiling mounted maybe outside of zones above 2.25m above ffl. As for the difference between elv and lv have a look in bgb.

 

[dazza1981]

Agree with tel, the problem is you installed the fan without being totally confident in whether the work you did was correct!!!
