Hello,


This is my first post & is probably a really stupid question. But here goes:

I need to change my very old Vortice extractor fan on a really old house.

The old wiring is: L = Red N = Black T = Brown

The fan I got from Wickes has :

L = Brown N = Blue S/L = Red

Question is, is the S/L (Switched live) the same as the T (Timer)?

yeah i think so

if you get L and SL reversed you won't damage anything anyway
 
No, but the fan will run continually

afaict if you swap L and SL on most fans you end up with the fan switching off instantly when you switch off the light

afaict SL is usually a control wire not a power wire
