Turning Off Light Switch Causes Traffic Jam: Wiring Issue in Garage Setup

Question

hello
I'll describe how it is connected
to the garage I pulled up the cable
1 box two double webs and a contact
2 box two double webs and a contact
3 box light switch

and now I have a problem, if I turn on the traffic light and the light switch is set to on then the light is on, but if I turn off the light with the switch it triggers a traffic jam. And I can't for the hell of it figure out what I messed up.

You have connected the switch incorrectly. It is supposed to be in series in the phase wire with the lamps and the sockets in parallel. You have connected the switch in parallel with the sockets and jazeniówek luminaires.

Maybe he wired it wrong but the light can be turned off .

Unplug the fluorescent tubes and check them one by one, maybe the ignition system in one of them is failing.

And I think he makes a short circuit with a switch fastened between L and N.
Luminaires have plugged in without the intermediary of the switch. When the switch is open, the fixtures light up, when he switches it blows the fuses.

Otherwise: Get an electrician to check. With electricity is no joke.

hello ...
very interesting post

I'm curious to know whether it was about weirding lights or rather fluorescent lights .... besides, seeing the term "traffic jams" reminds me of the situation when once a colleague used this phrase at the SEPoski exam, which contributed directly to the rapid failure of the exam not only by him but by the next 5 passers

btw ... I did not know that the fixtures candle

well I no longer pick on and greetings

Exactly. i had the same problem. you do NOT control the bulbs, the voltage goes to them directly, and when you flip the switch you short circuit L and N.

There is also another possibility of screwing up the connection of the circuit breaker, which I personally encountered. And on top of that, it was done by a guy who has an SEP license for workmanship and measurement!!! He used a staircase switch instead of a normal switch (that's fine), but to one of the terminals he plugged in a protective conductor!!! And when the light was on it was ok, and when it was off, it shorted the phase with the protective! Quite a specialist .

Pawee don't be so basic, they have the right to ask questions also laymen. Besides, every fluorescent lamp is a fluorescent lamp so it's all about fluorescent lamps.

Kaz K · Answer

or maybe ask the power company to turn off the lines at the trafo - it won't blow

pawee · Answer

WojcikW cool ...
After all, I'm not malicious

I agree 100% that laymen can ask questions (even they have to) but without basic knowledge you should not take up something that can kill for example :/
such a loose argument there ;P
kind regards.
