Theres been changes to bathroom areas in the 17th edition i am sure you need to fit an isolator anyway as per the 16th but if its in the new zone 1 it may have to be RCD protected as well. hope this helps
My understanding of it is that to comply with the 17th it needs to be protected by RCD.
also there is only a need for an "isolation switch" if there is no window in the room it is being fitted.
hope this helps.
Yeah thats it.
I've asked this question elsewhere on the web and there seems to be so many different answers. Some say yes you definetly have to and others say only if it has no window and some say it needs a switched fused spur - it also says this in the instructions.???????????
HELP....i dont know which answer is right.. It would be better if i need no isolator at all then i can just go ahead as i wanted.
if someone can shed some light on this with some form of regulation or something it would be great.
also the lights are also wired in twin and earth shall i put a small junction box on and wire the fan and the transformer in flex?
Dont know if anyones ever seen one of those fans with a downlight built in to it........??.. I cant find a link to one of the web.
Anyway. It has a transformer for the light and then the fan just gets connected seperatly 230V....
Does the fan need to have a fan isolator? It will be on its own independant switch on a simple on/off and the light incorporated in it will come on with the rest of the downlights.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers

4. if its a fan in the wall that only comes on with the light and has no perm supply then you only need RCD protection.
