low voltage fan

[ambrad]

Hi All

After fitting a low voltage fan to an existing lighting circuit, does a test have to be carried out on the whole circuit or just the extra part installed. Secondly does it have to be a eic or is a minor works acceptable as it is an addition to an existing circuit.

Thanks all

minor works. and if you look at the cert. you'll se it asks for details of the modified circuit, not just the bit you've added.

minor works would do for that i would think, as long as all other tests are done at the mains etc

If you're adding onto an existing circuit, you should test it before and after the work's done anyway. Before to ensure the circuit is in a fit state to take the additions, and after to check the finished circuit is all ok.

Also, surely it would actually be easier to test the circuit anyway than just part of it.................
