PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE SWITCH SINGLE LOAD CIRCUIT:
1. Take a bulb holder, A bulb holder has 2 slots, one is the phase terminal and the other one is
the neutral.
2. Take two wires of required length, Skin it from the top and from the bottom and connect one
of the skinned ends of the wire to each of the slots respectively.
3. Now take a one way switch, A switch similarly has 2 slots for phase and for neutral.
4. Connect the other end of the skinned wire from the phase terminal of the bulb holder to that
of switch
5. Take one more wire of required length and skin it on both the ends and connect one end of
the wire to the neutral terminal of the switch
6. Now take a two pin plug, open the outer cap of the plug, Unscrew the pin, Insert the other
end of the skinned wire coming from the switch inside the pin. The other pin is inserted with the
skinned end of wire coming from the neutral terminal of the bulb holder.
7. Now tighten the screw of the pin so that the wires stay firmly inside, And place the outer cap
back.
8. Now finally connect bulbs to the bulb holder
PROCEDURE FOR TWO LAMPS IN SERIES CIRCUIT:
1. Take a bulb holder, A bulb holder has 2 slots, one is the phase slot and the other one is the
neutral.
2. Take two wires of required length, Skin it from the top and from the bottom and connect one
of the skinned ends of the wire to each of the slots respectively.
3. Take another bulb holder, Connect the wire from the neutral end of first bulb holder to the
neutral end of this bulb holder.
4. Now take a one way switch, A switch similarly has 2 slots for phase and for neutral.
5. Connect the wire from the phase terminal of the second bulb holder to the phase terminal of
the switch.
6. Take another wire of required length and skin it from both ends, Connect one end of the
skinned wire to neutral to neutral end of the wire.
7. Now take a two pin plug , open the outer cap of the plug, Unscrew the pin, Insert the other
end of the skinned wire coming from the neutral end of the switch. The second pin is inserted
with the skinned wire coming directly from the phase terminal of the first bulb holder.
8. Now tighten the screw of the pin so that the wires stay firmly inside, And place the outer cap
back.
9. Now finally connect bulbs to the bulb holder
