can somone check this diagram

[harryspark]

sorry its very simple its for a switch and two florecent garage lights. Can somone help me if this is wrong please.

switch

very wrong

try this put a connector in the back of the switch for the neutrals

.

That would work if you want to turn both lights on and off at once. You don't need a specific terminal for the neutral, a pushfit or connector strip would be fine. A 1G1W switch with only 2 terminals would suffice

 

[batty]

Neutral should not be switched unless its double pole.

 

[Andy™]

that will go bang and most likely weld the switch closed

the switch will create a dead short L-N

no it wont patch - the light will work in one position, turn the switch to 'off' and its a dead short L-N

simple solution: stick neutral inside a terminal block and not the L2 termianl

neutral isnt switched...

That's what I said?

but you didn't mention the fault that would occur patch

 

[Andy™]

That's what I said?

the way i read, it, your saying it will work but turn both light on/off at same time.

it wont work like that - as soon as its turned 'off', it will go bang

 

[Apache]

but you didn't mention the fault that would occur patch

Ok! Wet Fish

 

[Andy™]

Yes IF you want both lights to come on and off at once with no explosions!

Welcome by the way. Why not go over and introduce yourself?

 

[harryspark]

Don't mind them Harry, just make sure you keep asking thats the way to learn

And for you critics this perhaps shows why 2330 is being scrapped

Getting lads into college with no opportunity to see how it works in the "real" world just does not work. Just bums on seats to sap up the funding.

Have seen Lads with Level 3 2330 not have a clue!

i.e. NVQ QUESTION MCB rating for standard domestic Immersion?

Answer 6A ?

 

[m4tty]

16A ? ut the kettle on

 

[Apache]

16A ? ut the kettle on

Yup

Most are 3KW

@230V that's 13A

@240V that's 12.5A

So nearest size would be 16A
