Shower room extractor fan - Part 2 (the saga continues after a new fan is installed)

It's interesting to note that the other fan (the Remotely Switched AXS100, which I don't have), if wired up with double pole isolating switch, needs a fuse on the live connection.
No, it doesn't.

It just depends on who draws the diagram and what they wrongly think applies in the UK - just because there are such things doesn't mean they must be used.
There are no such fuses in Europe.
 
Prior to me bridging L and L1 I've been looking at the wiring diagrams for the new fan (AXS100T). It's interesting to note that the other fan (the Remotely Switched AXS100, which I don't have), if wired up with double pole isolating switch, needs a fuse on the live connection.
However with the fan that I have, if using a triple pole isolating switch, no fuse is required.
As you've been told, a fuse is not 'required' in either case - so goodness knows why they've included a fuse in their diagrams for the 'non-timer' fans but not not their diagrams for timer fans.

Whatever, you should not be concerned about this!
