Discuss Bathroom extractor fans and 3 pole isolation: A source of much controversy in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
"If you follow the wiring logic above would that not do away with the need for the triple pole? Both feeds for the fan are through the fuse which can be removed and the fuse carrier locked open for safe isolation so regardless of location safe isolation is satisfied? "
I would think so...
Sorry I didn't read all your post, before posting again...
Find me some regulations then that prove me incorrect. If you can, I'll happy eat humble pie, until then why not keep your arrogant remarks to yourself.
And guess what, the beauty of non-statutory regulations is that they ARE often open to interpretation.
Arrogant? do you know what it means?
Aren't you the one that decided to give all of us the bennifit of your regs advice? the regs are minimum and they are are for interpretation but not for making installations less safe.
You are attempting to give advice in a special area which could provide or give some readers incorrect advice. If the readers have to rely on this forum for knowledge you should be promoting safety and not scraping the regs for quick get outs.
It is common practice to install an FCU to comply with the manufactures requirements for maximum fuse requirements, it does mention manufactures requirements several times in the regs doesn't it?
and anyone not installing a 3 pole switch doesn't understand the RCD requirements.
As I mentioned many here don't understand how to wire a BS 1362 fuse into a system let alone follow your " A source of much controversy" there's no controversy and safety is paramount not the regs.
Switching an mcb off is not isolating, unless it's a double pole mcb. Therefore the fan or item of equipment being "ISOLATED" by an mcb, technically is not.
