OK thats good to know. Now can I connect it up via a 3A FCU mounted in the ceiling next to the appliance? Or high on the wall just beneath the ceiling? (I.e are there any specific regs relating to max. height of switches, eg so disabled folk can reach it??) thanks for the help!

Heres what it says on the transformer: PRI: 220-240VAC 50/60hz 0.25A SEC: 11.5VAC 20-60VA eff. 5A Max 5A then?

hmm All the appliance came with was an installation booklet, can't find anything referring to the rating. Nor is there a sticker or anything obvious on the fan itself. I can open the cover and take a look at the transformer would that suffice?

Firstly apologies for the delay in the response. The fuse in the plug is 13A. So that kind of rules out wiring it in to the lighting circuit! I really don't like the idea of plugging it in to a socket in the bedroom above, that sounds like a cop-out! I have to say the pullcord is a...

Just on my way home will confirm when I've had a look.... thx

Hi All, I'm installing a ceiling mounted Island Extractor which comes with a 3pin plug. Just thinking about the best way to wire it up. What I dont want to do is just connect it to a socket as... 1. the only socket it would reach would be one in the bedroom above 2. a socket added to...

Yep I'll do that. THe confusion for me lies in not understanding how zone C is going to get power to it based on the circuit I have. Thanks for the input though, and yep I'll take a look as you say. Ta.

both zone A and B already are live - the 2C+E on the left hand switch works the lights in zone A, and one of the 3C+E's on the top switch works the lights for zone B. I dunno how to get zone C lit up though!! :?

sorry, the cables arn't above any particular switch in the diagram, Actually, on the left hand switch, the 2c+E supplies Zone A. The remaining 3c+E cables are presumably to run up to the uppermost switch in the diagram for the 2-way switching. Agreed that the R/H switch is an intermediate...

Hi All, I've been left with a first-fix lighting circuit I need to finish up. It has three zones A, B and C. There are 2 switches: a single, double and triple -they operate the zones as per the diagram below. Each switch has the following wires going to it. All are 3 core and Earth apart...

ok thanks for the input, definately helps to talk thru the options now and save hassle later on down the line! much appreciated...

unfortunately thats not an option here, though I could put the switch in the blockwork return next to french door, but it would be a bit strange as folk might think it was the light switch (all those are on the other side of the french doors). So, the conclusion is as per the diagram, with it...

Ah right - I should have been clearer, next to thewashing machine is a pair of french doors - butted up against the windowframe - so there is no wall here... Also, the Kitchen isnt a full 2.4m in height (cottage) so the worktop will come a few inches below the window seal where the sink /...

Talk about a thread hijak!!! I was hoping for some advice for my issue, seems I got left behind!! JohnD, can I trouble you again, re location of fuse/switching for an island extractor ? Also, reading your input to councillers issue, I have a similar problem for my washing machine. It...

Actually you've also reminded me, I had one other question on the same.... I'm having a extractor chimney hood for our island. Given this is ceiling-mounted, I'm going to need to put the FCU and 3 Pole Fan isolator switch on a wall. I was just going to put these high up near ceiling level...
