When the switch is on, both terminals are connected together. Typically, these terminals will be marked COM. We are not electricians and have taken all the diagrams from the instructions that are supplied with the products we sell. The common is for the live wire that supplies the input voltage to the switch.
Wiring details for one way lighting circuits as used in the UK.
One way switching - Plastic switches.
The diagrams above show the new and old colour codes.
Examples of the most commonly used UK lighting circuit diagrams. All work carried out should comply with all applicable Wiring Regulations. Read the instructions carefully before commencing . They are wired so that operation of either.
All types of lighting circuits in old and new cable colours. Be cautious when opening up multi- way switches. Two way switching means having two or more switches in different locations to control one lamp. The lights they control should take power from the same circuit , but if yours are incorrectly wired and take power from different circuits, there will be live cables at each switch position when one circuit is isolated.
There is more than one method of wiring multi- way lights. Most modern lighting installations use the loop in method for connecting up one way lighting circuits. One wire connects to COM, and the other wire to L1.
A piece of brown sleeving is used on the blue wire , as both wires are live. This should be connected to the back box with the other earth cables that form part of the wiring. Warning: You must take extreme care when dealing with two- way or multi- way light switches , where more than one switch in the circuit controls the same light.
Fig : Three way switching schematic wiring diagram. The old wiring colours that are present in the majority of homes in the uk have been used for this diagram. Three core and earth cable is required to install two or three way switching and this should be run from the first light switch to the second and then wired as shown in this diagram.
