This is my first stab at installing a timed extractor fan in the bathroom ceiling.
My fan has double electrical insulation(Class II) and therefore the instructions call for a double pole switch - no earth. But from reading here I think I need a triple to isolate L,N and switched live?
I don't suppose I can mount the double/triple pole in the loft? If not it will have to go in the hallway which seems like an odd place and will look ugly. Could put it near the consumer unit downstairs but would have to route long lengths of cable.
Thanks for any advice!
