    How the Light Bulb Timer Switch works to control the home lamp

    A light time switch is used to regulate an electric circuit to control your home lamp. It can improve the energy-efficiency and make it possible to control your home lighting remotely.

    Common Timer Switch Wiring Methods

    Direct Control Wiring

    When the electrical appliance to be controlled is a single-phase power supply, and the power consumption does not exceed the rated value of the switch (resistive load does not exceed 25A, the inductive load does not exceed 20A), we can use the direct control wiring method.

    Single-phase Wiring

    When the controlled appliance is single-phase power supply, but the power consumption exceeds the rated capacity of the switch (resistive load exceeds 25A, inductive load exceeds 20A), we need one AC modular contactor with a capacity exceeding the power consumption of the appliance to expand the capacity.

    Three-phase Wiring

    The controlled electrical appliance needs a three-phase power supply and an external three-phase AC contactor. The coil voltage of the control contactor is AC220V, 50Hz. The coil voltage of the control contactor is AC380V, 50Hz.
