How to connect a connector - Candlestick connector connecting the lamp with one

Question

Hello to all members of the Forum I have the following problem Previously, a lamp with three bulbs was connected to the candlestick connector. However, at the moment I am planning to connect a lamp with one bulb. I have three wires: blue, black and gray. They are connected to the connector as...

szulec125 · Answer

So yes, you have three wires coming to your candlestick switch:
- black, which is the power cord
blue - which powers part of the lamp (e.g. 2 bulbs)
brown (I do not see the gray wire there) - which powers the other part of the lamp (e.g. 1 bulb)
So you need to connect the brown (phase) wire to the new lamp and the neutral wire that comes from the switchgear or box to the N (neutral) input.
Insulate the blue coming from the candlestick switch so that it does not confuse with the neutral wire.

What about protective? To the author - have you dismantled the old binding? Give a photo of her terminal block and outlet (wires protruding from the ceiling).

Did the colleague check the wires in the switch box? I know that black should be in phase, but it's better to apply the rule of limited trust and check the wires. Recently, I was surprised how I dismantled several cans in the installation. If everything is as it should be, your colleague wrote in the first answer.

The old cube looked like this:

The connection was as follows
black cable - middle of the ankle
blue cable - left side of the ankle
brown cable - right side of the ankle

Thanks for any comments

To tell the truth, it is not known whether you can connect a new lamp to this outlet, there is no protective wire in the power cable that the lamp requires, and we do not know the power supply system of your apartment.

There is clearly something wrong with the color of the wires. Therefore, if you have a voltage tester (read: a neon lamp), check which wires coming out of the ceiling have voltage. Of course, you have to do this in two positions of the switch to clearly define the phase conductors and the neutral conductor. It may also be that the lighting is controlled by the neutral wire, so it is possible that the phase will be on only one wire. Let me know what came out for you

Vytautas_YT · Answer

That is why I am writing to check where the phase is, because for me recently, when I started altering the installation, it turned out that some wise man made neutral switches for several lamps in the attic. Better to know what you put your hands in

and61 · Answer

Hello, please check with the neon indicator if black is phase To be sure, you need to know how the wires in the box above the connector are connected, besides IF you have a protective wire in the lighting circuit (which I doubt) then the gray wire should be marked with green-yellow insulation and connected to it as required

... and after turning on the second button on the switch, supply voltage to the lamp housing Where is this protective wrapped to come from if we do not know the network layout

and61 · Answer

Please read and quote the full statement, not a fragment, I wrote in the full statement about the green and yellow wires I don't know what your experience is, buddy, but WHEN (in the times of the reigning TN-C system) in housing construction, even zeroing was not used for lighting And by the way, if this is a forum for professionals in the electrical / electronic industry, why will no one reply in any thread: Please refer the matter to an electrician / electronics engineer since there is no knowledge to do the job ? Only fortune telling is advised what to do and how to punch points

szulec125 · Answer

Because that's what this forum is for giving advice. And writing a note right away to call an electrician misses the point. Because sometimes a professional electrician can kick your installations And as for the punching, you did not contribute anything to the thread ?

mawerix123 · Answer

What will it change that I will quote the whole sentence if you advised the layman to wrap the phase wire with yellow-green tape and connect it to the lamp housing. Why do you predict the coffee grounds yourself and give harmful advice without knowing the basic answer, which is the type of power network.

and61 · Answer

Ok, Ok, I made a mistake advising to make the connection on one side by marking the wire, leaving the default to disconnect the gray wire from the connector in the box and connect it to the protective wire IF IT EXISTS. .

this guess is the same mistake as asking an amateur about the power supply
how should an amateur know this, because for him the letters TT, TN-C, TN-S do not mean anything (I do not mention IT, because you will not experience it in a flat)

mawerix123 · Answer

In the end it got what my friend ... Well, that's where he gets the energy bills from his energy supplier. For the author, it may not say anything, but we need this information to write whether the lamp is safely connected to the outlet he is planning.

Vytautas_YT · Answer

I shoot, but it seems to me that the lamp is probably made of metal (I mean the construction) and that is why the protective conductor is connected. Recently, I have installed one at home, and since I have the installation from xx years ago (no protective line and, horrifyingly, all the wires in the installation are white), I simply did not connect the protective lamp from the lamp and I suspect that my friend will have the same / similar situation. At least the wires are in color, not Mono like mine

kozi966 · Answer

So a friend made a categorical mistake and is still boasting about it here.

opornik7 · Answer

And he did not reset?

Vytautas_YT · Answer

I know colleagues that I should at least do the reset, I was supposed to reset it but I gave up because, as I mentioned, the installation is old and modified several times by several experts in various ways. During the last renovation of one of the rooms, it turned out that in several places where there should be no tension, there is voltage. So in this case, I decided to skip the reset of some circuits for the moment and the beginning of spring will probably be general fun with the entire installation.
