Default Intriguing wiring

For anyone who thinks wiring is too easy to be left to the

the socket circuit (admittedly from a fused switch unit next to the
sccket in the cupboard under the sink) and the switched live is from the
lighting circuit. I don't suppose this is totally forbidden,


Er, yes it is!

but it
seems a bit eccentric to me, especially if one thinks the fan might be
isolated by the (two pole) FSU.


A fan with switched and permanent live ought to have a three pole isolator.
