Fw: [OT] - 3 pole fused switch

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not use some cat5 ?

The cable will go before any fuse, so saves having a fuse !

A 2 amp fuse would be sufficient for a 460W load which I am guessing is
way
above the actual running or starting power required for the fan. I would
suggest that if the fuse ever did blow then you would almost certainly
need
to crawl through the cobwebs to reach the transformer anyway irrespective
of
where the fuse was located.
