What wires go where?

[KAS1]

R=Perm live B=N Y=Sw/Live that's my guess if it's wrong it'll either run all the time or not run at all or **** the fan up lol

Part p to change an accessory ? wow whatever next lol

Its not a case of difficulty really Miss Sparks its a case of safety.
To change a fuse in a plug or the plug itself you have to unplug it to do it, The system you are working on requires isolation before you work on it.
And the amount of times I have seen dangerously wired plugs well if only I had a pound for each....

I have never seen cable of that age personally, But I know its old from the colours and it could do with testing to make sure its still up to the job to be honest.

I am an electrician and in order to do that job I'd need to test it and establish what does what. Do you know how to do this and do you have the necessary test gear? I cannot tell you from my sofa which wire goes where, and nor am I prepared to guess. If you want to guess, go for it.

You have never seen cable of that age, well blow me down, you must be straight from school lol

I'd guess 99% of SWA still in existence and in service is RYB lol

Nope, But if I remember right Red,Blue, White was 60's? Long before I was born and I wouldn't be likely to come across it as I dont do domestic work and the factory I do work in is only around 20 years old LOL

But hell god knows how long people used them colors for

you do the connections. i'll drill the fixings. that should make for a nice f*** up.

Red white and blue is from the 50's isn't it? Though it has a 60's earth.
Anyway the existing fan should be labelled as to which cable is which.

Yellow yes, Not white

red white and blue were very common and used pre 1970s, I have seen and used it before several times, then it changed to red yellow and blue, my guess is the colours are red=live, blue=neutral and white is the switch live, that would be pretty likely

 

[KAS1]

Where's the RWB I can't see it in the picture, is she talking about a white wire on the internal fan side?

 

[MDJ]

stop drinking so much cider LOL, :ciappa:
