[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 494937, member: 1408"] You need a neutral to be in the switch , sometimes there is , sometimes there isn't one . Regarding the earth , as electricians we are obliged to leave an earth at every point whether needed or not . However I doubt your fan will actually need one . You can use the spare switch if you want but you need to know how to wire your fan before just dropping cable in . Your fan will need : 1) A permanent live. 2) A Neutral . 3) A switched wire ( On /Off) Edit; And yes , as Murdo says , the circuit needs to to be fed via an RCD . [/QUOTE]
