Hi guys
Currently have a plastic pull cord operated extractor fan. Outside the en-suite in our bedroom we have a FCU which feeds the extractor fan and the shaver socket. The cable going to the fan looks to be live and neutral only, think the earth has been cut off or tied back somewhere. I want to replace the fan with a nice chrome one which works off a timer and comes on when the lights are switched on.
How would I need to re-wire the fan. Am i correct in saying that if a metal fitting is 'double earth' (or something) then it does not require an earth connection? Looks like I need a NEUTRAL, SWITCHED LIVE and a PERMANENT LIVE. Would the permanent live come from the FCU, the switched live from the lights? Where would the neutral come from?
