Wiring extractor fans?

Question

Is it possible to wire a 100mm bathroom fan to a normal plug? If so how? Thanks.

Answer 1

these are normally connected to the lighting cct

Answer 2

yes it is.

just wire as per a normal unit.

earth neutral live.

But this is not safe, you really need a pull cord unit.

Answer 3

A bathroom extractor fan should be on its own fuse spur or 2/3 pole isolator switch (3 if you have a run-on), It is not advisable to use a standard 3 pin plug.

Answer 4

Yes you can, use a 1 or 2A fuse, and 3-core flex..

If it is a timer fan, then link between L1&L2 at the unit.

Answer 5

Yes it is, but............

                        Your normal plug and / or socket outlet must not be in the bathroom.

                            After giving this question a bit more thought, my answer is don't even attempt this job, far too dangerous, either forget it or shop around for a qualified electrican to do it.

Answer 6

it is, but its dangerous & illegal it should be taken from the lighting with a separate isolater, but hey the fact you asked means your going to do it anyway, just dont switch it on with wet hands of bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz pop

Answer 7

yeah just connect the live to live neutral to neutral and earth to earth!

But I'm assuming you not using the unit as a bathroom fan? If you are then don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
