Wire an extractor fan to a mains plug

[Dhana]

Would it be possible to wire a bathroom extractor fan like this http://www.rbstaronline.co.uk/acatalog/4__100mm_Axial_fan.html to a 13a mains plug? Thanks people

As long as it's not being used in a bathroom you can.


Either of the first two models are suitable, but not either of the timer or humidistat ones.

Change the fuse to a 3A.

"Possible" is an interesting word. It would be a rather novel and unpleasant way to do it.

No, unpleasant would be hooking the ends of the flex to the REC's local distrubution lines. While on an aluminimum ladder. In the rain

have you no aesthetic sentiment?

Thanks for confirming that! Any ideas on how? As in do you reckon it comes with three wires conveniently to be wired into a 3A plug?

no. brown to L blue to N g/y to E or little earth symbol. You will probably have to supply wire, they dont come with it, AFAIK
