Installation and connection of sockets and switches

What you will need to know and know for installing the

circuit breaker To install the circuit breaker, you need:

• switch;
• connecting wires;
• junction box;
• electrical tape;
• screwdriver;
• it is desirable to have another tester

Connecting the switch directly to the luminaire - this is a very simple matter, even a schoolboy will understand, but you can not forget about the main rule - the phase wire is connected to the lamp by means of a switch, i.e.the phase is always connected to a break. This must be observed for the safety of further operation of electrical appliances. Otherwise, if the switch disconnects from the mains is not a phase, but zero, then the wiring remains under voltage always, and this is very dangerous. We determine the phase wire by means of the indicator and connect it to the bulb holder so that it is connected to the phase by the central contact.

And here's how to connect through one junction box wires from the luminaire, switch and flap, here it is necessary to understand.

Wiring plan

Circuit breaker consists of:

• light bulbs - one or more, connected in parallel;
• single-key( in our case) switch;
• junction box;
• power supply 220V.

A cable consisting of two wires leaves the switchboard to the box. It is better that they were of different colors. Next, to the same box are the wires from the switch and the luminaire. The phase from the switchgear is usually red and, accordingly, is connected to a red wire suitable for the switch. The blue wire from the switch is connected to the red wire connected to the lamp, thereby making the phase commutated.

Zero blue wire from the switchboard is connected to zero, going to the lamp. As a result, zero from the distribution box goes directly to the light bulb, and the phase is connected through a switch. It turns out that when the button of the switch is pressed, the circuit closes, the phase is fed to the light bulb and it starts to glow. At the end of work all bare wires are carefully insulated and fit neatly in the box. For more reliable connections, you can also use soldering together with twisting.

Connection of the switch and the socket in one box

If the apartment has common junction boxes, to which are connected all the sockets and switches, then figure out what and what is connected is difficult enough. For example, if the switch from the lamp and the socket are connected together in one switchbox.

In this case from the shield to the box there are two wires - one red with a phase, and the other with a blue one with zero. The connection scheme is the same as described above. The socket is connected in parallel - phase to phase( wires are both red), zero to zero( blue wires).

Instructions for connecting the outlet to the

1. switch Remove the protective cover from the socket of the socket or switch, and leave a supply of wire for 5-6 cm.
2. Unscrew the spacer screws so that you can pull the switch out of the box in the wall.
3. The switches are mounted in the phase of the rupture, the wires are installed in the mounting holder. This gives a quick disconnection of the electrical system in a short circuit and provides the replacement of cartridges and lamps.
4. When installing the circuit breaker, please note whether the activation is done by pressing the main button or the top of the key.
5. One-key switches are mounted so that the wire contacts are at the bottom.
6. Installation and connection of the socket with the switch is as follows:

• on the wall fasten the sub-socket;
• outlet opens;
• the socket base is screwed with two screws to the switch;
• to the socket and the base of the switch with screws screw the cable.

We have considered a brief excursion on how to connect sockets and switches. If you still have unclear points, then pay attention to the video and photos. And remember about safety.
