Discuss Extractor fan – Is a re-wire change to change timer duration? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
cheers just had to get freakin g n t (yuk) nowt else in as snowed in lolBloody hell!!
It's Friday you know! Go grab a pint and relax!
Thank you for all the responses. I have a couple of final questions to help clarify my understanding 1) Can a fan with a timer be set to a time of 0 and 2) When installing a fan with a timer, is the wiring the same regardless of the timing being set to 0 or maximum. We are awaiting our certificates for the work. I will check on the matters raised by Toonlad in due course.
Usual minimum time on a timer fan is about 2 mins, recommended overrun time is 15 mins.
Once the wiring is in place for a timer then there is no difference in the wiring no matter how long you set the timer.
If the fan has its own isolator then the fan can be isolated and then switched on again and the fan will usually stop, handy for the midnight trips to the bathroom without waking any one up, but of course not regulatoraly recommended:smile5:!
No need to change the fan. Just fit a separate timer. Remote Timer 1min to 45 MinIf its all tiled in and decorated etc and he only has 2 cores to the fan,perhaps he may be able to fit a transformer (with timer) and swap the fan for a 12 volt
