Hi All
Wonder if you can help?
I am working on a project and creating a new bathroom and en-suite.
In each I need to install a small 4” extractor fan. In the bathroom there will be a shower curtain around the bath for the electric shower so it’s about 2.3m off the floor, in the en-suite it’s the same height but above the electric shower cubical.
My initial research showed that these can be run of the lighting circuit which ran 1.5 (as they’re both timers run 1.5 from this 4 core).
I’m running a split load consumer unit and read that the fans should in fact be protected by the RCD. This means I should really run the power from the ring main and not the lighting circuit. Is that right?
The whole lot needs to be certified when finished as it’s through building regs but obviously want to get it right!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
