Hi all,
Recently had a new kitchen fitted and had a sparky to rewire the kitchen adding more sockets and a new hard wire for electric oven. A 13a socket was fitted near the ceiling above the top kitchen units to power the extractor. However when opened up extractor fan unlike our last one this one is non-plug, just the L + N wires.
"An all pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles should be connected in fixed wiring"
Can I buy a 13A switched fused DP socket and simply remove the old 13A socket and replace it with the new one? Will a DP switched be suffice?
Tech data - power supply 220-240v, motor power consumption 80w, light 9w, total 89w.
If its something I can do to save a bit of money then I'm all for it but will respect if told needs to be done by a qualified sparky.
Many thanks in advance.
