DESIGN OF SIMPLE
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
Draw a wiring diagram single line diagram and schematic diagram of two electric
bells controlled by their respective push button located at two different places

This is a very common circuit used in offices.

The circuit is useful when there are two officers having their individual bell pushes and
bells to call the peon or to pass on some information through bell signal system. The basic
idea of the circuit is to create two signal systems from one supply.
The phase wire taken to one push button P1, from P1 it is looped into P2.
The second terminal of P1 is connected to its own bell and similarly second
terminal of P2 is connected to its own bell -2.
The bell -1 should ring when P1 is pressed and bell -2 should ring when P2
is pressed.
The two push buttons and bells may be located at different places. Each
bell thus has its individual control.

 Simple Alarm circuits without Relay

The alarm circuit connections are used to convey information by means of

light or bell signals.
The basic principle of wiring connections of bells is same as the lighting
circuits.
In general, the neutral is given direct to bells whereas phase is supplied
through push button.
The alarm of signaling system usually installed in small houses may be
divided into two general classifications.
The fist is the audible or a visual type of signaling system which attracts the
attention by means of sound given off by an electric bell or buzzer or by a
visual signal such as the glow of a colored electric lamp.
The simple wiring diagram of electric bell, apart from wiring necessary to
conduct the electric current on its path consists of three important parts

1. Usable load (in this case a bell)

2. Means of control (In this case, a push button)
3. A source of supply ( in this case a battery or 230 V AC Supply)
•The connections to the bell are made the positive path of current travels
through the push button to the bell.
•The negative pole of the battery is connected to other terminal of the bell,
completing the path of current through the bell.
•The bell push button is in series with battery and bell.
• No current will flow through the circuit until the push button is pressed.
Draw a wiring diagram single line representation and schematic diagram of
one bell controlled two push buttons located at two different places. The bell
should ring by pressing any of the two buttons. Looping system of wiring
system should be adopted.

•This circuit is useful when there are two officers to be attended by one peon.
•The bell should ring by pressing any of the two push button located in different
offices. However the peon cannot know which of the two officers have called
him.
•In this circumstances the peon can be made to understand only if different
modes of sound are adopted by officers.

Schematic diagram of the bell operated by two push buttons

•The phase wire first enters push button No.1 and from
there it is looped into push button No.2.
•The terminals from a push button No.1 and Push button
No.2 is connected to the bell.
•The bell should ring when either of the two push button
is pressed.
