I was asked to replace a bathroom fan for a client in a fairly recent build. (approx. 3 year old)
The fan is situated directly above a shower cubical with a fixed shower head.
The fan is bog standard 230v mains voltage, 100mm diameter with run-on timer, 3 pole isolator outside the bathroom door.
Regulations concerning bathroom zones. The fan is located above the 2.25m vertical height of zone 1, so is a 230v fan valid in this instance?
Should I try to encourage the customer to go with a 12v version, I cant say its against regs if her builder put the 230v one in only 3 years ago.
I haven't looked at the C.U yet, so don't know if the fan is RCD protected. I assume it is, but if its not, ill change the breaker to an RCBO.
