[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 560378, member: 250"] The person who wired that up is an incompetent idjut in my opinion... Obviously they didn't test it? Did you get any minor works electrical certificate for this alteration? You are now caught between the devil & the deep-blue-sea... where... (a) they should come back and put it right free of charge... (b) but if they couldn't get it right first time I personally wouldn't want them back! (c) getting a proper electrician who knows what they are doing to rectify this bodge-up will cost you more money.. Was this by any chance installed by a "bathroom fitting company"... Who can do everything.. plumbing / electrics / tiling etc...? Or as is generally known... "Jack of all trades & master of none!"? A fan isolator has three poles switched:- permanent live (in/out), switched live (in/out), neutral (in/out). Which requires SIX terminals to be used! Your photo only has THREE in use... Never Ever Going To Work!!! The actual colours used can be dependant upon the personal preferences of who did the work.. Providing suitable cable sleeve is used any colour could be used for any function... (excluding the bare CPC, earth conductor that must only be used a earth, not a live conductor!) Are you sure they have fitted a timer fan? [/QUOTE]
