I have inherited a somewhat odd installation. I have a FSU on landing with just 3 wires connected to it (L,N and Lout). However Lout is not connected to anything in the junction box in which my fan is connected...
At the moment my fan and light are both switched together (with timed delay). I'd like to be able to switch the fan off so just the light works. My question is whether I can use the above mentioned switch on the permanent live connection, leaving the switched Live connection on the fan still connected to the light switch.
I know recommended practise would be to fit a three way isolation switch but would there be any problem with the plan above? (ie this would result in Ls being Live but L(perm) being open)
Also would this achieve my aim of stopping the fan working or would Ls still operate it (until the light is switched off).
Thanks
