Hi Guys, I have three questions I would appreciate some help with if some kind sould could help me out.
in a nutshell:
I have a timed inline extractor fan I wish to install in the loft (Manrose MF100T) instructions requires it to have 3A fuse fitted (I don't want to open up 'that can of worms' here so, lets just assume 3a fuse will be fitted here.
I have an unused old isolator pull cord outside the bathroom, which I would like to use for the extractor.
(i.e I don't want to chase walls or fit trunking to add new switch boxes for an isolator or FCU and would prefer to use a pull cord system to isolate)
Ideally the isolator (and fuses?) needs to isolate just the fan, not the bathroom light. But would like the bathroom light to activate the fan.
My questions are:
Is taking a feed from the bathroom Rose for the inline fan notifiable? since I will be adding a wire to it.
All other electrical work will be done outside of the bathroom in the loft (the main reason I purchased an inline fan) Anyway round this if so?
If the extractor requires fusing at 3 amps. Does adding a FCU make the work become notifable also?
and lastly, If the would a simpler method for me (not being a qualified spark or having part p) to install
the fan and isolator, and install two 3a inline fuses on the perm and switched live terminals on the fan
and not use a FCU?
Now I know this forum is littered with similar threads, so excuse me, I have spent hours trying to come to answer my own questions with no avail, it's not so much the electrical side, but more the red tape, regulation and compliance I am struggling with, that confuses me.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
