Lights Supplied by 30 Amp Ring Final. B.S. 3036 Fuse.

HellOOOoooo All,


I came across a strange one today. I went to change a faulty touch dimmer switch for an ordinary light switch. I discovered that the two lights controlled by the switch did not originate at the lighting circuit, but from a 30 Amp wire fused ring final. The supply was connected to an old metal double socket box below the light switch, in an added conservatory, with a blank plate over it. I can not add a fused connection unit as the box is a double socket box. The blank plate is covered by a small easily removed panel convector heater. I was considering installing an inline fuse holder in the double socket box for the lighting circuit. The lamps are low energy types so overloading is very unlikely, but faults may occur.


Thoughts please.

    Z, what possible danger can there be requiring a fan isolator switch?


     


    You have confused me. I see no danger in requiring a 3 pole isolator switch as asked for by fan manufacturers. Fan manufacturers ask for the three pole isolator to be installed to isolate their fans. Isolators are specifically made for this purpose and labelled so. You need to ask them why David.
