 GO-DOWN WIRING CIRCUIT

Aim/Objective:

1.To understand the wiring of go-down

Equipment/Components Required:

S.No Device Type Rating Quantity

1 Lamp Animated light 12V,6W 3
bulb
2 2-way switch SPDT 12V,5A 3
3 1-way switch SPST 12V,5A 1
4 Source (Vsine) 12V 1
5 Connecting wires As required

Note: Theoretical calculations should be done before selecting the Ammeter/Voltmeter and connecting the
ciruit.

Precautions:

Avoid loose connections. Meters should be adjusted to null deflection.

Connections must be verified before switching ON power supply.
Power supply should be switched OFF before making/breaking circuit
connections. Readings should be taken without parallax error.

Theory:

CASE-1 (S1-ON, S2-1, S3-1, S4-1)

Switch 1 in the given circuit is SPST and switches 2,3,4 are SPDT. S-1 is
connected to the first terminal of S-2. Hence the circuit is complete. S-3 and S-4
are not connected to S-1 hence, the circuit is open.

CASE-2 (S1-ON, S2-2, S3-1, S4-1)

In the given connection, S-1 is connected to the second terminal of S-2 and to
the first terminal of S-3. Hence, the circuit of L-2 is complete whereas it is open
for L-1 and L-3

CASE-3 (S1-ON, S2-1, S3-2, S4-1)

In the given circuit, S-1 is connected to the first terminal of S-2. Hence the
circuit is complete.

CASE-4 (S1-OFF, S2-1, S3-1, S4-1)

In the given connection S-1 is switched off and connected to the first terminal of
S-2. S-3 and S-4 are in 1 position. The circuit is open as S-1 is off.

CASE-5(S1-OFF, S2-2, S3-1, S4-1)

Since S-1 is switched off, no current flows across the circuit.

CASE-6(S1-OFF, S2-1, S3-2, S4-1)

Since S-1 is switched off, no current flows across the circuit.

Calculations:

Total Power drawn by the circuit = 6 watts

Voltage of the circuit = 12 volts

P = V I COS Ø

P = V  I  1 (Assuming COS Ø = 1 for resistive load)

Current in the circuit (I) = Power (P) / (Voltage (V) x COS Ø)

= 6 W / (12 V  1) = 0.5 A.

Fuse rating of the circuit = rounding off the current to the nearest 5
= 5A (Normally fuses are available in the ratings of 5A/10A/15A

Analysis of Results & Conclusion:

CASE-1 (S1-ON, S2-1, S3-1, S4-1)

Lamp-1 glows but L-2 and L-3 do not glow as the circuit is complete in L-1 but
open in L-2 and L-3. The main switch S1 is connected to the first terminal of S2
and forms a complete circuit and the current flows across Lamp-1

CASE-2 (S1-ON, S2-2, S3-1, S4-1)

Lamp-2 glows in this case and L-1 and L-3 do not glow as S-3 is at position 2
and the circuit is complete for L-2 and the current flows across L-2

CASE-3 (S1-ON, S2-1, S3-2, S4-1)

Lamp-1 glows and L-2 and L-3 do not glow as the circuit is complete for Lamp-
1. The circuit is open for L-2 and L-3.

CASE-4 (S1-OFF, S2-1, S3-1, S4-1)

Neither of the lamp glow as S-1 is switched off. Hence, all the circuits are open
and no current flows across the bulbs.

CASE-5 (S1-OFF, S2-2, S3-1, S4-1)

Neither of the lamp glow as the main switch S1 is off. Hence, all the circuits are
open and no current flows across them.

CASE-6 (S1-OFF, S2-1, S3-2, S4-1)

Neither of the lamps glow as S-1 is switched off. Hence, all the circuits are open
