5 Gang 1 way switch

The gang are back!!! Last time we saw 2 gang 1 way switch. This time 5 gang 1 way switch. This mean s you can switch ON or OFF five lights. Not only 5 gang 1 way switch is used. There's 3 gang and 4 gang also used in house wiring. But the wiring of these switch is so similar and simple to.That's why we directly going to look 5 gang 1 way switch.

In 5 gang 1 way switch has 5 one way switches. That's the reason called this switch as '5 Gang' each is one way switch, so the wiring is simple but there's some thing you should know about to wire this switch.Each switch power is shared because each switch can't wired separately, this will cost more,so the power is connect to each switch. another hand, each switch control lights separately so there's no chance get short circuit between these light.

So lets look the wiring of the switch.

 

Now you can clearly understand the wiring. Every 'L' terminal is connected all these five switch and anther wire goes to MCB to power the fie lights. The lights connect to the 'COM' common terminal. 

  When current flows from MCB to the wires that connect all 'L' terminals the current will flows to all switches separately,so you can light on and off the bulbs.

NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW TO WIRE 5 GANG 1 WAY SWITCH. NO MATTER HOW GANG THE SWITCHES HAVE, YOU CAN WIRE IT TO POWER ALL SEPARATE LIGHTS.
