Howdy,
I realise that there are a few of these posts already, but I wanted to be 100% before I started doing things!
A couple of years back I went to change some weak bathroom fans for something better, didn't realise I'd got 240v instead of 12v
I'd planned to leave it to my sparky but he never came back to me and then I left it 2+ years. Things came up and 2 weak fans went way way down my list of priorities.
But I've now got to that point on my list
Pictures should help with my descriptions I hope!
Current fan position is dire for getting steam out of the room, combo of position and it's really weak.
I've been looking at 12v fans and I can't find one I like that the wife will sign off on.
My 240v fans have humidity sensors and timers and other stuff I honestly don't care about, we can turn it on and off as needed. They were way past the return point when I first tried to fit them, I might as well just use them now.
My plan is to gut the old transformer and link the cables together
I suspect I then need to link the L to LT with a bridging cable?
The fan is rated IP45 for zone 1 without a 12v transformer
My question/concern is the cable running from the transformer not being the right cable, as if it isn't it's a much bigger job to do as it's buried in the wall/ceiling from what I can work out.
Have I missed anything obvious?
Thanks in advance!
