Is it common for electric bathroom vent motors to trip an GFCI receptacle?

Unfortunately GFIs don't like motor loads. The start up current required to start the motor is often 125-150% of the running load current draw. This initial spike in current draw when the motor is energized is sometimes "misread" by the GFI as current going to ground or an imbalance between the hot and neutral current. If your GFI has tripped numerous times, it is likely getting "weak". Try replacing it first. If it still continues to trip, replace your vent fan motor.


Does code require a new bath vent fan to be on a dedicated circuit?

No, the bath vent fan does not need a designated circuit. If this is a new installation install a three wire cable to the fixture from a two gang switch box. Cover plates for two gang boxes can be bought with a blank on one side and a switch on the other. At some time in the future a lighted fan enclosure may be installed. This will allow the light and fans to be operated independently.


Why are exit lights burned out?

Generally Exit lights have very little ventilation and the bulbs are continuously heated and burn out faster. Some have vent holes but they want you to replace the bulbs which are costly after a while.


What are the functions of Breather Conservator and Ventpipe?

A conservator is an oil tank, located above the transformer, whose function is to ensure that the oil level remains above the transformer, while allowing it to expand and contract with temperature. The breather/vent pipe allows air to be displaced from the conservator when the level rises, and to draw back in when the oil level falls.


How does a exhaust fan work?

Cooking produces more than aromas. Particles of grease, smoke and combusted gasses are environmental pollutants that are not healthy to breathe in. Some foods like pepper and onion also produce irritants which can be unpleasant to be continuously exposed to. Exhaust fans are used to remove these pollutants from the air. There are two types of exhaust fans: venting and recirculating. Venting exhaust fans use a powerful fan to pull air in from the kitchen and out through a duct which generally empties to the outside of the house. Generally, the duct is as short as possible to allow the fan to work more efficiently. Recirculating exhaust fans are actually air filters. The fan sucks air from the range hood through a filter, and blows it back out in the kitchen. The filter removes grease from the air. Recirculating fans do not improve air quality as much as venting fans, but they are easy to install and require little space. A venting exhaust fan needs to vent properly. Sometimes, venting fans are routed to the attic instead of outside. The constant flow of warm, moist air can cause rot, mold, and other health problems. Using too long a duct can also be a problem. The longer the duct, the more the fan has to work and the less air it can push through the system. Finally, there is the issue of replacement air. If the fan is pulling air out of the house, more air has to come in to replace it. In old buildings that aren't very airtight, this isn't much of an issue. In new buildings, however, people will often install a grill to the outside where new air can come in to replace the air pulled out.
