The problem - 1 bathroom and 2 en-suites.
There is one central fan extractor, serving all 3 - all ducted in. Neither en-suite has an exterior window, so these rooms require the fan to have a 15 minute run-on. (I'm planning to use a faceplate switch outside the bathroom/en-suite door, rather than a pull-cord) The obvious way to wire it is for the light switch to each room to be dual-pole, and the second contact from each light switch is commoned together to the run-on timer (I don't mind if the bathroom goes through the run-on timer, but it could probably just connect direct to the fan). The only dual-pole switch I can find are in the grid-switch range, and rated at 20A (I'm using MK logic plus range elsewhere). So I *can* do it. But is there an easier way using standard switch/faceplate parts? (and it would be nice if the faceplate switch had a switched indicator neon so you know the light is switched on inside the bathroom/en- suite) Also - as this is a slightly unusual configuration, and the 3 rooms are 2 downstairs and widely spaced, and 1 upstairs - I'm thinking of putting it all on its own 6A RCBO marked "wc's & fan". There will of course be a fan isolator switch next to the fan (which is built into a studwork cavity in the bathroom wall) |
