Connecting triple switch correctly
Making repairs, we are all striving not only to do everything beautifully, but also save money. So the three push button, not only can control a multi-level lighting, but also significantly It saves material, because with it you can control the lighting, for example, both the bathroom and toilet hallway. This article will consider three key switch connection into three groups of luminaires.
So, for successful performance we need you:
1. Lights in the amount of three pieces.
2. Junction box. Directly in it and will be wire connection process.
3. Four two-wire cable and a four-core. Two-three lights will be used for one two-wire "come" to the electrical panel on which will go 220 V. A four-core cable goes to the junction box with you our three key switch.
4. Directly the switch.
5. Soldering iron, electrical tape, stationery knife, pliers and time.
A circuit itself as follows
Getting connection
Important. Before any work related to the electricity necessary to make de-energizing the workplace. To do this, go to the distribution box and disable the machine in charge of the premises. If it's not, then disable the automatic introduction. Then we go to a junction box on the cable and check who has come to the flap, a multimeter or absence indicator strain. And only after that you can start working.
So, our junction box installed lighting fixtures as well in place, and the wires from them are summarized in the box.
Now you and I need to correct our tie breaker. To do this, remove all the decorative elements and carefully inspect it.
Here we see one common contact, which connects phase came with the shield.
Note. Safety switches must be switched requirement is phase, not zero, as in Otherwise, after a breaker trip on the luminaires will still be phase. And if damaged insulation can be a risk of electric shock.
And three contacts, which we put on the lights gone phase.
So, then turn to the direct connection of the wires in the junction box
Before connecting me in advance to tin all ends for subsequent welds twists.
The first step is to connect the common point of our zero (blue wire) cable coming from the distribution panel and the cables from the lamp.
Then phase (white) that came with the shield connects to phase (white lead), a past the switch. Next, the blue wire came to connect the switch to the white wire of the first lamp, yellow-green wire connect with another white lamp and the black wire from the switch connect to the white wire of the third lamp.
Thus, the connection is made, you now need to check its accuracy. To do this, include the previously disconnected machine and alternately turn each lamp group.
Once we have verified the correctness of the work switch was turned off the machine and proceed to the welds with you our twists. This should be done as according to the SAE requirement, just lay in the junction box are prohibited. Details on permitted ways to wire connections can be found in this article.
Next, insulated wires with electrical tape stacked in the junction box, and in this connection the correct triple switch can be considered successful.
