This diagram explains the basic switch board wiring used in homes and offices. It shows how multiple sockets and a switch are connected to a single power source for controlling electrical appliances safely and efficiently.
Key Components:
- Switch: Controls the flow of current to the sockets.
- Sockets (1, 2, 3): Used for plugging in different electrical devices.
- Plug: Connects the board to the main power supply.
Working Principle:
The phase wire from the plug passes through the switch before reaching the sockets. When the switch is ON, current flows to the sockets, allowing connected devices to operate. The neutral wire completes the circuit back to the source.
⚡ Tip: Use properly rated sockets and always ensure connections are tight to prevent overheating or electric shock.
