Electrical Circuit Overload Problems And Prevention
How to connect a switch in an electric circuit. Bend the exposed wire ends into a u shape with the pliers. Lessons in electric circuits volume 1 chapter 1. Connect the ground wires to the ground terminal. Using an insulated electrical screwdriver install new circuit wires into the gems and neutral bus bars. Connect the end of one piece of wire to one terminal of an insulated knife switch by looping the u shaped bend in the wire around the terminal screw and tightening the screw with a screwdriver. Strip about 34 inch of insulation from each circuit wire the ground wire may not be insulated using wire strippers.
Open the panel and remove the panel cover. In the third case the switch controls both the outlet and the light. Turn off the power. Basic concepts of electricity learning objectives. Build a one battery one switch one lamp circuit as shown in the schematic diagram and in the illustration. Punch out a blank on your breaker cover panel and install it.
As you can see in the schematic diagram of 2 way switch circuit below the common of both the switches are short circuited. Using an ohmmeter to check switch action. Bend the bare end of the wire into a hook or u shape using needlenose pliers. Open the knife switch. Disconnect the old switch wiring. The other end of the lamp is connected with neutral line of ac power supply.
Remove the old switch. Install a hot wire into the new breaker and then line up the breaker into position and snap it into place. Fit the hook of each wire over the appropriate screw. Connect the hot circuit wire to one of the black common terminals the hot load wire to the brass terminal and the pigtailed white wire to the chrome terminal. Turn off the power to the switch circuit by switching off the circuits breaker in your homes service panel breaker box. Pin1 of both the switches are connected with the phase or live wire and pin2 of both the switches are connected with the one end of the lamp.
