Lostit - Batty makes more sense here. There was no confusion from me - a rank amateur. Take the cpc with the cable, no suggestion of using it as a live conductori was specifically speaking of the fan where did i mention the metal back box? :innocent if you want to educate you need to explain so they don't pick up on your bad habits.you've just virtually told them they can use the earth as a line conductor but its bad practice:coat
obviously you would earth the metal back box from there you would take only live and neutral to the fan. the only cables that require an earth as you put it are metallic covered cables such as swa.
