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?

    Interesting use of lever Wago connectors! I don't think that you are supposed to put 2 wires in one hole.




    I wasn't sure about that too Chris. Especially as the mention was made of using 1.5mm2 at the start of the video. If 1.0mm2 exists already will a Wago reliably hold the two sizes of wire?




    I have just tried it. 2 x 1.0 mm² conductors are held reasonably securely as are 3 x 1.0 mm². This is not surprising given that they may be used with stranded 2.5 mm² conductors (but only fine stranded 4.0 mm² ones). The problem is combining different sizes. With 1 x 1.5 mm² + 1 x 1.0 mm², the smaller conductor is not gripped at all.
