Connecting a fan to shower power

[mechelec]

Not usual practice is one thing, nothing in the regs to stop that. Electrically sound so no problem there either. Correct labelling at the CU would prevent any confusion as to what the circuit supplies. Even a wiring diagram is not beyond the realms of possibility is it ?
I think having an understanding of electrical engineering would help with the blinkering of some people on here. Domestic is only one small part of this varied industry. It is also arguably the least technical.

This MUST have been pointed out earlier, two conductors of dissimilar csa in one connection.

hi mechalec. firstly, i'm unable to enter any debate re quoting regs etc and am sure you have put challenge out with sufficient knowledge to 'win'. fair play to you sir. what i was wondering was would you mirror your set up at a clients house and certify? if so, i will research as it could prove useful in other areas in future. thank you.

section 314 can be interpetrated several ways, It speaks volume to me, as does professional installation work, all this cowboy talk has worn me out, do what you like I don't care, if you are happy and think your right then good for you, funny how only the guys who have done this type of work defend it, good night and I hope your home doesnt burn down.

All I asked for was a valid reason why it would be wrong, electrically and which regulation it doesn't comply with.
You have provided neither. So I would ask you to reply only when you can answer either question rather than just trying to inflate your already ridiculously high post count.

I have told you in my last post and the fact only a cowboy would do it

Why not just loop circuits off anything close by or not close by as long as you label the DB lol you cold even spider wire houses lol

Well would you ? I am yet to get a valid reason why not. It seems that there are many who all follow the crowd in poo pooing the idea but have no real reason why not.

Okay, this threads got into a bit of a contentious stalemate so I'll close it before it goes too far South.

I'm just bumping some of the older threads in the general electrical forum that had a lot of replies. They might not be current topics, if they're not, just ignore them and they'll soon drop off the list. If you DO wish to add a reply and get the conversation going again, feel free to do so. Your input might help somebody else in the future.

I'm just bumping some threads in the Electrical Forum, don't mind me while I do this, you don't have to respond to them. Although if they are still current topics, and you do wish to reply, you're welcome to. Keep the thread on-topic and make sure you stick to the forum rules though.
