3.3 Circuit Diagram


3.4 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.

Fuse Rating Calculations

Power drawn by the circuit = 60 watts Voltage of the circuit = 230 volts

P = V I Cos θ

P = V x I x 1 (Assuming Cos θ = 1 for resistive load)

Current in the circuit (I) = (power (P) / Voltage (V)

= 60 W / 230 V = 0.260 AMP.


Fuse rating of the circuit= rounding off the current to the nearest 5 = 5A (Normally fuses are available
in the ratings of 5A, 10A and etc.)

3.6 Photograph of practical circuit done in the lab


3.1 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.

3.2 Precautions

1. Energize the circuit with the presence of Lab instructor / Faculty.

2. No part of a live circuit should be touched by the bare hand.

3. Keep the body, or any part of it, out of the circuit.

4. Keep the work area and workbench clear of items not used in the experiment.

5. When disassembling a circuit, first remove the source of power.

3.3 Result:

Used two-way switches to verify lamp status from two locations.


3.4 Summary

The output that was observed corresponds to the output that was expected.
