Wiring a light switch: How to control each lamp by separately switch in parallel lighting circuit?

In the real wiring system the switches are used to control the lamp separately. Here the diagram shows how we can control three Lamps separately. All these three Lamps are connected in parallel to each other. The switches are connected between lamps and phase wire.

Point to be Noted: Switch is always connected to the phase wire not on neutral wire.


The third Lamp is OFF just because the switch is OFF, so the circuit is not complete, and there is no way to flowing current, in other word this is an open circuit. The first and second lamps are ON, because the switches which are connected to the line are ON, so the circuit is  complete.

In this article you will learn about how to do three phase wiring in home. Generally, the elctrical supply provider company install single phase energy meter for where requirements is 7.5 kW load in domestic areas but if this limit exceeded then they install 3-phase meter. For this we required following things. Requirements- Required Materials Number Three phase energy meter 1 Three pole, 63 A, MCCB 1 Double pole, 63 A, 30 mA, Trip current RCD 3 Double Pole MCBs, 63A 3 Single Pole, 20A, MCB 6 Single Pole, 16A, MCB 3 Single Pole, 10A, MCB 6 Distribution board cases 3 Cupper strips for MCB Common connection 3 Here, the connected load is single phase. their is no 3 phase load connected to the 3 phase system. The 3 phase wiring are used because our load is more then 7.5 kW. Now, let's start the procedure how to install 3 phase wiring for your home. Figure 1- 3 phase winding in home As shown in the

In this article we learn about how to control a lamp with 3 different switches at different places. This is very useful. For doing this we required two 2-way switch, 1 intermediate switch and a lamp. Connect all these as shown as in the below diagram. Fig.-1 In the above diagram the lamp is on because the circuit is in closed condition.To understand easily the circuit diagram for this, is given below.  Fig.-2 In this case the lamp(bulb) is in off condition. So, the circuit is open condition. Here, one more example is given.  How you can turn on/off a lamp or bulb from six different places. For this we required four number of intermediate switch, two number of 2 way SPDT switch and 1 bulb. Connect all these components as shown as in the figure below. Fig.-3 What is Intermediate switch , its construction and working principle? Fig.-4 An intermediate switch have four terminals. Because of this terminals it is possible to change the flow of the current fro

Automatic UPS system wiring for home or office This article is about how to connect a UPS system in our home or office and this is very useful information.  The below circuit diagram shows the how to connect a UPS from our main supply to appliance(load). This circuit diagram is for in case of falling the main power supply and you want to supply power to specific appliances, TV, AC, laptop etc. in your home or office.  As shown as, two rooms are connected with main power supply.  Here, you don't have to connect the neutral wire connection from UPS because it's already connected the phase and neutral wire from the main power supply with the same point. To connect UPS first you have to remove the connection of phase wire from the main distribution box(from SP,DP or CB) of those rooms which you want to connect with UPS. By doing this(connect with both supply), we can use the power without interruption. If main power fails the UPS will provides the power to the
