For anyone who thinks wiring is too easy to be left to the
professionals. In our bathroom the fan permanent live is supplied from
the socket circuit (admittedly from a fused switch unit next to the

lighting circuit. I don't suppose this is totally forbidden, but it
seems a bit eccentric to me, especially if one thinks the fan might be
isolated by the (two pole) FSU.



Or not isolated depending on the circuit that switches it on from a
different live source.

I believe you are supposed to have a 3 pole isolator that does both
lives and neutral with a 3mm gap in the switch.
