Hi
Firstly, I'm a spark to trade but been away from the contracting for over 30 years.
I have been asked to replace an extract fan in the bathroom. The home owner tells me that you must now have a spur unit fused at 3amp for the fan as this is now a regulation. The current fan (to be replaced) is a timer fan wired off the lighting circuit. This is not a fancy fan with a built in light.
Can someone please advise if a replacement fan wired off the lighting circuit must also be wired through a spur unit fused at 3amp?
Thanks in anticipation from someone who is not up on the regs.
BTW I think the modern term for a spur unit is a FCU.
