with the question of how to connect the chandelier, faced by virtually all.Collect new chandelier and hang it from the ceiling - the task is not so difficult, but necessary to properly connect the wires, so that all the lights lit up, as it should be, it turns out not everyone.Of course, if you have a good friend or relative who is knowledgeable in the intricacies of electricity, but if this is not available, then there is a need to call an electrician.Try to understand how to connect the chandelier, without the help of professionals.
Before starting the installation work lamp, disconnect the mains voltage and before connecting the chandelier, you should make sure there is no voltage in the wires with the help of a probe or tester.By connecting the lamp, you will see three wires sticking out of the ceiling, of which only one is zero.These wires are required to connect to the power of two different groups of lights on the chandelier or lamp.These wires are connected properly, you will be able in the future to include all lamps at the same time or use one group of lamps.Often, wires in the ceiling is not Marked.However, generally the blue color corresponds to zero the electric wire and the brown mark phase.Wires "phase" are on-off switch, wire belonging to the "zero" is in terminal boxes.
correctly determine where the phase where there is a zero, quite easily using a special screwdriver indicator.Indicator before starting work, be sure to check on the performance.
Now it is the turn of the wires that come out of the plug-in lamps.They also should be three: blue, brown, and yellow-green, which is a wire for grounding.This wire is simply insulated electrical tape over to him to do anything not required.From each of the connected lamp chandelier is brown and blue electrically.The insulation on all the wires should be carefully cleaned and twist the wires together, observing the color match.When the insulation from all wires removed, it is necessary to separate the ends in opposite directions from each other, so that they are not short wires.Now you need to turn on the voltage and the indicator turns to touch each end of the wire.If you touch the wires on the indicator lamp lit up, it means that this "phase", if not - "zero".Remember or mark the exclusion of "zero."Then blue wires must be connected to zero, and the wires brown - a phase.If you did everything correctly, when you turn on all the lights in the chandelier it should catch fire.
Connect chandelier, which works in two modes of lighting can be otherwise.To this way blue as well as in the first case, curl and connect to a zero electric wire located on the ceiling.Wires brown divided into two groups, and then connected to a two phase electric wires on the ceiling.However, for such a chandelier with two modes of illumination, it is necessary to establish a special double switch.
There is another rather important point in the question of how to connect the chandelier alone.Often the home of the old buildings are equipped with aluminum wiring, and modern lighting output are mainly copper wires.In that case, if you just twist the aluminum and copper wires, then the connection is required to begin to warm up, which can easily lead to short-circuit.What should I do in this case?To connect these wires is best to use terminal board.This not only prevents the heat, but also make the connection easier chandeliers.
Following these simple tips, and knowing how to connect the chandelier, you do the job on their own, without the help of professionals.
