Need more information Bradley, to be honest your post makes very little sense, perhaps you could post some pictures of the "contactor".hi wiring up this single phase contactor for lights which are wired in 3 core, I presume they just terminate Brown 2T1 and Blue 6T3 cheers never has experience with a contactor before and earth to earth bar
Sorry must have not sent first timeNeed more information Bradley, to be honest your post makes very little sense, perhaps you could post some pictures of the "contactor".
What it looks like to me is that you have a control circuit and input cables but there doesn't seem to neany output cables, in all honesty Bradley you will require the help of an electrician with this, giving step by step advice can be inherntly dangerous especialy to a non electrical person, contact an electrician befor you take any more steps to sort this out.Sorry must have not sent first time
Lighting wiring needs to be tested and inspected before they are connectedYes I know I haven’t glanced the output cables yet there is 2x 3 core swa to be connected yet but what I’m saying is they connect load side of contactor brown to 2T1 and blue to 6T3

Murdoch I have, how many times have we read posts like this by people who claim to be electricians, but infact are enthusiastic DIYers, if people filled in their profile page correctly this sort of situation wouldn't arise. OP if I have misread your post, apologies.Read the previous posts
