Default Re: Wiring a desk electric fan.

This genre/era of fans are rarer than they might be, probably due to their reputation for eating children's fingers. Doesn't mean it can't be mounted out of reach or used in a child free zone (is there such a thing!?) The only other thing i would recommend is a plug in RCD to increase your safety margin.....although having said that we haven't established what voltage it is designed for yet.. I wonder if a search would elicit an image of the missing base plate/data plate you refer to.

What a beast- photo 2 looks like the screw from SS Great Britain!
