Extractor Fan Switch.

Zoomup
I have just stumbled upon this. A fan isolator switch with integral fuse. Has anybody any experiences with these please. Any good?

    perspicacious:

    Agreed, but some tenants use the isolator to stop the noise so the landlord's building suffers the consequences that the Building Regulations foresaw......


    Staying in a B&B a couple of years ago, well some time before lockdown ...


    Hostess kindly explained the function of the switches on the bedroom side of the stud wall betwixt same and the bathroom. Yes, they could have been in the bathroom outside the zones! So you get up for a pee in the night (as those of us of a certain age tend to do) and on completion switch off the fan isolator so that it does not drone on for the next 20 minutes.


    In fairness, there would be no nasty niffs (unless taking penicillin) or damp, so no need to run on.
