To understand the circuit connections we can use various designs, including the following:
Analytical diagram
Which show all the lines that connect the different parts of a circuit. These plans in large scale circuits can lose their figuration.
Operating diagram
Which show in detail the paths of electrical current. This method of design is descriptive and easy to read.
General diagrams
Single line diagram
Analytical diagram
Operating diagram
Important Note: In all lighting circuits a ground cable must be installed. Usually the luminaires for residential use belong in the next two categories:
S i m p l e l i g h t ci r cu i t - S i n g l e l i n e d i a g r a m
Protection Class I: The device is grounded. The ground wire (yellow / green) must be connected to the clip marked with ground symbol. Protection class II: The device is double insulated and cannot be connected to the ground. Go to back to Content Top

Important Note: During the design of various electrical circuits we pay attention to draw them in break mode (OFF), unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary. Above the circuit is closed,

4. Switching lighting circuit (AllerRetour) with two extreme switches and one or more intermediate switches
Description: Control of a lighting circuit from three or more points. This type of circuit is used in large rooms, long corridors, staircases and generally in large rooms.

Important Note: In figure b) we can add more fluorescent tubes if we want in series but we should also add more starters and a more powerful ballast.
