Varilight 10A Fan Isolating Switch (3 Pole) - Brushed Brass

A 3-pole isolating switch disconnects all three main circuits (live, neutral, and earth in some configurations, or specifically for fan circuits it isolates the necessary conductors) to a piece of equipment, ensuring complete power removal for safety.

This switch is specifically designed as a fan isolating switch. It is rated for fan loads and should not be used for general lighting circuits unless explicitly stated as suitable by the manufacturer for that application.

The Brushed Brass finish offers a distinctive look and is relatively easy to maintain with regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

This is a 10A rated switch, suitable for standard domestic fan circuits. It operates on standard UK mains voltage (230V).

The switch is designed to fit standard UK single or double back boxes, depending on the overall size of the switch plate assembly.

Fan isolating switches are commonly installed in the bathroom or kitchen, often located within reach of the fan unit but typically outside the immediate splash zones, adhering to electrical safety regulations.

Ensure the switch has been wired correctly by a qualified electrician. Verify that the circuit breaker at the consumer unit is on and that the switch itself is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and require replacement.

Check that the fan's power supply is correctly connected to the isolating switch. Ensure the switch is in the 'on' position and that the main circuit breaker is also on. Verify the fan unit itself is functional.

Ensure there are no obstructions around the switch mechanism. Dust or debris may require cleaning. If the stiffness persists, it may indicate an internal issue requiring professional assessment.
