I have just installed a ceiling fan and light in my conservatory, using existing wiring, though I think it is the first time it has actually been wired up to anything.
I purchased the fan in France and, though it does not have any rating info on it, it is on a fused spur with a 3A fuse, and I am happy that the cable is meaty enough to handle this.
But......I am getting a rubbery smell at the other end of the conservatory whenever the fan is running, and I really think I ought to investigate.
Problem is that I have no idea where to start. Conservatory is built on a dwarf wall and has a tiled floor, but no evidence of where the cable run goes. Is there any 'standard practice' for running cables in conservatories ?
