Hi, I am having difficulty fitting a bathroom extractor fan. There is wiring already in place for it, which consists of a red, blue, yellow and what appears to be a bare copper wire. The new fan requires a permanent live (L), neutral (N)and switch live (L1). Can anyone advise what goes where please? Cheers.

You can't be too sure about these things, becuase there is no set in stone way of doing this, but that said, I've never seen, or heard anyone choose to differ from the following:
Blue - neutral
Red - Live
Yellow = Switched live
EDIT: Bare copper wire is the earth, and should be sleeved with earth sleeving and terminated in a terminal block in the absense of any desinated termianal for it
EDIT2: Now got an EDIT label

Why not use your multimeter to identify which conductor is which?bananafeet said:
If you don't have one, then either get one or stop messing with your electrics.
