Bathroom extractor fan wiring

[Rachel25]

Hi guys

I'm wanting to wire a new bathroom extractor fan with a timer and I need some more cable. From the isolator switch I believe I need a live, switched live and neutral cables to go direct to the extractor fan. Would this cable be suitable?

It's 3 core 1.5mm.

Any advice greatly appreciated

That cable is not suitable for your job.

You need something like

Thank you kindly

Rachel25 just to add, the reason the cable you listed is wrong is that it is only 3 core, you need 3 core AND earth, not to mention your one is flex, and you should use "rigid" I am not even going to say heat resistance.

Or using the green/yellow as a switched live Although that is not exempt from the regs the exemptions would not apply in this case.
