Question is would a 3a fuse rather than a 6a mcb have stopped the fan catching fire...somehow I doubt it.

I doubt it too. Most reputable makes of small extractor fan motor have sufficiently high impedance to prevent dangerous LRA currents in the case of failure. You often see it stated on motors that they're 'impedance protected' or something similar. That combined with the choice of non-combustion supporting plastic mouldings would be the best fire protection.Question is would a 3a fuse rather than a 6a mcb have stopped the fan catching fire...somehow I doubt it.
We have been through this with the niceic and we now have to code an unfused bathroom fan as a code 2, we've been doing this for a couple of years now and to be honest we come across it all the time, but yes we've been through this a few times on here manufactures instructions should be followed at all times and yes they do state 3 amp fuse for fans
I believe that there is.Why isn't there a triple pole fan isolator with a fuse in it on the market?
Or if there is I've never seen one.

I was told by my nic inspector that if we use fans with built in thermal overload protection you dont have to fuse down bellow 6A ??????????:smartass2:
