Electricity has long been our constant companion and faithful assistant.It is difficult to imagine how our recent ancestors could do without this useful inventions of humanity.
But to manage it, requires certain knowledge.This is especially true wiring and sockets.But the question of how to connect series switch correctly able to confound even a relatively experienced home worker.More you try to paint this process.
Some tips
The mechanism for electrical wires are connected in two ways: self locking clamps and terminals.Screw connection is known to anyone who has dealt with the Soviet and cheap Chinese "Electric": the bare ends of the wires are inserted into a special socket, after which they clamp screws.
Before connecting the series switch (or rather, before you buy), be sure to make sure that the wires attached to it is not so!
The fact is that over time the screw connection is bumped, so from time to time, be sure to check them.The device terminals such problems simply does not.
Product Features
Recently, manufacturers are increasingly common modular design.Since the series switch to connect multiple routine modification easier, we consider the principle of the installation is modular.
Before working
you must familiarize yourself with the wiring diagram.As a rule, modern manufacturers are making it to the device, but we will outline how it works for clarity.
In general, under one cover hides a pair of ordinary single switches, the principle of which is known to everyone from school.Zero and land need to sum directly to fixtures, while the phase must necessarily pass through the switch itself.
What you need to install
determine how to connect a series switch, make sure you have the required minimum of tools, without which the work will be extremely difficult.However, there is only need something for nothing: ordinary Phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver with a phase indicator, knife and pliers.Aesthetes may need level.
Started
Of course, we will discuss the most banal thing in the world, but double-check, and you turned off the electricity!Even then, be sure to check the current location.This should be done not only good to learn how to properly connect series switch, but also for any electrical work.
As usual, preparing wires in the junction box, if necessary, their shortening and stripping of the insulation layer.If you remember, these switches use the system once the three wires.
With their ends need to be stripped (about a centimeter) and then thrust into their terminals.Phase must be placed in the socket "L", and the other two (usually blue and yellow) in the other two holes, guided by the arrows on the inside of the machine, pointing in the direction that you require fixtures.
Given that the modules - two ordinary switch, connect them, carrying a small piece of jumper wire.
Before connecting the series switch «Legrand» (or produced in another foreign company), read the chart!
