looks OK from here.
Good morning guys, looking for a bit if advice.... I have 3 external spots lights (single phase)View attachment 47488 that are ran off contactor and timer... there was no diagrams or existing circuit to follow... could one of yous maybe tell me if this circuit I quickly drew up would do? Thanks a lot
Why not use a time switch, either standalone or DIN mounted?
Yeah I have a time switch in place, it's a really old one tho and there's only 3 wires coming from it tho . ?
What is the purpose of the timer?
Agree with above, as all the circuits are effectively controlled via one MCB I assume the loading is not very high, so do you actually need a contactor?
p.s love those space invader light fittings, very retro
Post a picture of the time switch, you may not need to use a contactor if it is suitable to switch the load
Need to wait till tomorrow bud will do then
As you say it is quite old is it a round mechanical timeswitch with a black base and a clear plastic cover?
