Where is the neutral?

 

[aliraja1234]

Where is the neutral?

yes there is, basically the wire i have used to attempt to 'borrow' the power is a normal twin and cpc which has live, neutral and earth

 

[aliraja1234]

are you able to see the diagram i attached that should help ( the black wire from the hallway and the switch is a neutral i believe)

I don't think so!!

 

[aliraja1234]

I don't think so!!

im not sure what you mean could you possible annote the picture to show me which part you mean please ( lol it's an unfinished circuit diagram by the way )

 

[Murdoch]

Your home or a customers?

customers

 

[Geoff1946]

If I understand you correctly then NO you can't, because you don't have a neutral for your additions.
You should however be able to extend from the existing light fitting, where both live and neutral are present.

 

[Murdoch]

customers

Very scary answer.

Have you tried your CPS's technical support line?

 

[poni]

the way you have the switch there is no neutral it looks to be a switch line in L2

lol it's an unfinished circuit diagram by the way

please finish the diagram

customers

if you are charging for this, you should know what you are doing , and maybe Part "P" registered to sign off the work,

I think your power goes l n from ccu to light then the switch drop is l and sl (switch live to turn on light from switch) if you wired the way you have it connected as per diagram then turning switch on would trip the circuit breaker or fuse out as a direct short across the l and n would. Occur at the light side

The parts highlighted in yellow is part of the orignal house. i havent touched this, its all enclosed in the wall. All of that work done by somone when the property was made i assume. Everything after ( the new porch extension) that is a new addition of wires is enclosed in the wall by a previous electrican ( who left the job half done and dissapeared), and i have been called to get this wiring working such that the porch and spotlights runs independently

yes the diagram is wrong if connected like this it will blow a fuse/MCB, with a loud bang
please get someone that knows what he is doing to complete the job, from what you are saying you are out of your depth,

the part in highlighted yellow is the original house, could you help by showing me how to complete the diagram without changing that part please

 

[poni]

Again if you don't know what is wrong with your drawing ,you should not be doing this job,
it is a very basic circuit, I would expect a 1st year Apprentice to know after six months working,

the part in highlighted yellow is the original house

the original wiring is not the way you have drawn it , please get someone that knows what he's doing, to complete the job,

all i asked for was some help, i haven't had enough experience i get that. i am trying to get help from asking somone experienced like yourself to guide me as this is my first time doing this kind of job. not everyone has strengths everywhere you know

please know your limits, you might need help on site with this, lets start from, how much experience do you have ,


go look at the ceiling rose in the hall and try to workout the cables and how they are connected

Yes you asked for help and sound advice has been given. Maybe not the advice that you wanted but it is truly helpful advice. You have shown that you really dont understand this particular lighting circuit and it really is very basic. The problem is you're doing the work for a customer who is paying you in the belief you are a competent contractor which clearly arent.

If you look at the diagram below and study what you have drawn you should be able to understand why people are concened.

I wish you well with your electrical work.

I think that it just a light and one switch, not the two way switch you have here,
