Wago wiring correctly

[Stevie R]

I am putting up some new light fixtures and am going to use ‘Wago’ connectors my question is I have a live, neutral, earth coming out of the ceiling and the same from the light fitting,
When wiring to the wago connector do the 2 live go together same with neutral, earth? I’ve attached a photo bit basic but hope it explains what I mean

Moved from "Electricians Talk Forum"

do you really think putting live neutral & earth in the same connector isn't going to go bang?

 

[Stevie R]

I Just need to know what wires go into a wago connection in terms of the L,N,E do you use 3 separate wago connectors then?

 

[Stevie R]

do you really think putting live neutral & earth in the same connector isn't going to go bang?

BTW the clues in the name connector so YES that’s what you do with conventional connectors

 

[Fleeting]

Each conductor the live, neutral and earth need separate connectors so you need three of them not just one or it will just create a dead short.

Thank you for that nice to receive practical advice instead of smart ar$e response

For your example you would need 3x 2way wago connectors..

Or personally for connections to light fittings I prefer these

or if you need to loop in & out plus the light fitting

Are they going in any sort of enclosure.

They will be under the fitting attached to the ceiling rose

They need to be in some kind of enclosure

Not sure I agree with that. The ceiling and the light fitting base form an acceptable enclosure imho.

Wagos provide a far superior connection and basic enclosure for the electrical connections than chic block ever would

I have got a few of them that I use on three-core flexes to a plug & socket for temporary testing of various items I may want to energise quickly.....


BUT they they can be a bit inflexible compared to other single connectors...
