A shared circuit is one that branches out and has more than one device which shares the same electrical circuit.Due to the small amount of amperage a ceiling fan does not require a dedicated circuit.Ceiling Fans are Typically Wired on a Shared Circuit with Other Lights and Outlets.Switch Box Wiring for a Ceiling Fan and Outlets Notice: Installing additional electrical wiring for a ceiling fan should be done according to local and national electrical codes with a permit and be inspected. Precaution: Identify the switched outlet circuit, turn it OFF and Tag it with a Note before working with the wiring. Tools Required: Basic Electricians Pouch Hand Tools, a non-aluminum ladder and Voltage Tester.Įstimated Time: Depends on personal level experience, ability to work with tools and access to the switched outlet wiring and the proposed location for the ceiling fan. Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced – Best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor or Certified Electrician. Wiring a Ceiling Fan with a Shared CircuitĪpplication: Electric Wiring Switches for a Ceiling Fan. This electrical wiring question came from Brevard in North Carolina. There are power wires for the fan (black) and another for the light (blue), a neutral, and a ground on the fan unit.In short, how would you connect the load side so it has continuous power even with the switch(es) off?.However, my circuit continues beyond the fan. Your second diagram for a ceiling fan when the power goes to the fan first is helpful, particularly the one with separate switches for the fan and the light.This electrical question came from: Matthew in Florida. How do I wire a wall switch box where there will be one tube light fixture, one ceiling fan, and one computer?.Electrical Question #1: How can I connect a ceiling fan to my home wiring?
