Aim
To control the status of a given lamp from 2 different locations by using two – way switches.
Materials Required
Tools Required
Screw driver, Wire stripper, Hacksaw, combination plier, drilling machine, electrician knife.
Theory
In this wiring, a single lamp is controlled from two places. For this purpose two numbers of two way
switches are used. This wiring which makes use of 2 switches to operate bulb at the beginning of the stair lights
and the bulb gives off by pushing the button in the end. One of the terminals of the bulb is connected to the
main line whose power line is connected to middle slot of two-way switch. Remaining first of these slots is
connected in parallel as in crossed node.
Procedure
1. Collect the materials required for this experiment.
2. Draw the layout of the given circuit diagram in the circuit board.
3. Fix the necessary materials, by using drilling machine in the layout board.
4. One end of the lamp holder is connected to neutral point and another point is connected at the
center of the two-way switch (S2)
5. The center of the switch (S1) is connected to the phase line.
6. The connection of the other two ends of two-way switch is connected as follows. The point 1 of switch
S1 is connected to point 1 of switch S2 and point 2 of S1 is connected to point 2 of S2.
7. The given lamp is fixed on the lamp holders.
8. Test the Circuit for all possible combination of switch positions.
