I am told it locks in both positions. I will let you know when (if) the electrician gets back to me.
That's what I was inclined to think - hence my question.I can't imagine any one being allowed to sell an isolator which can be locked on.
Probably because he wasn't one.Oddly the electrician couldn't understand why the RCD tripped when the ( single pole ) switch for the outside lights was OFF.
Connection of fans supplied with the electric cords to power supply as well as
replacement of electric cord should be perfomed by a competent person
(Part P) and in accordance with latest IEE wiring regulations. A 3 amp fused
isolator should be fitted
If you are charging rent then you have a landlord's duty of care and that includes ensuring the electrical installation is compliant.
That's a rather odd one, which I don't recall having seen before, and it's not even very clear what they mean. Instructions commonly call for a 3A fuse and a 3-pole isolator. I would think one would be very hard presed to find a "3A fused isolator"!the instruction manual you linked to includes.... A 3 amp fused isolator should be fitted
How could you get "the fan trigger, fan live an N through the FCU"? At best, only one of the two L's would be fused. If you used the DP switch of an SFCU to switch the two L's, then the N wouldn't be switched - hence not true isolation.About the only way round it that I can see is to use a DP light switch, one pole switching the light and the other pole switching the fan trigger. The light not via the FCU, and the fan trigger, fan live and N through the FCU.
