Hi all,
I am after a way to switch on an extractor fan using the shower switch.
Now before I get flamed, and told to wire it into the lighting circuit, I have a very "forgetful" OH who will forget to turn the extractor on each and every time she gets in the shower.
By wiring it into the shower, she can't forget to turn it on.
I've read B-A-S's post (from 2005) //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20386#123601 is this an acceptable way of wiring it all up?
If I use a none timed-overrun fan then I can just wire an FCU from the load side and then to the fan. Simples.
By using a timed-overrun fan I will obviously need a permanent live and neutral, so I would need to wire an FCU from the supply side of the switch.
For the switched side I will only need the live, is it fine to run just a live to a second FCU and then to the fan?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
