ACTIVITY No. 03

Non-metallic Wiring Method using Flexible Corrugated Conduit


Simplex SPST Switch (S1)

INTRODUCTION:

Electrical Wiring is a process of connecting cables and wires to the related


devices such as fuse, switches, sockets, lights, fans etc to the main distribution board in a
specific structure to the utility pole for continues power supply. Electrical Wiring must
be installed correctly and safely in accordance with electrical regulations and standards.

Types of switches

 SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) -This type of switch is a simple ON and OFF
switch. It is employed for breaking or connecting the circuit between two
terminals.
 SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw)- These types of light switches have three
terminals. Of these three terminals, one of the terminals is employed as an input,
while the remaining two are employed as output terminals. One out of the two
terminals is joined to a common terminal.
 DPST (Double Pole Single Throw)- This switch comprises two poles, meaning
two identical switches are included in it that lie side by side. A single toggle
operates this switch, meaning that the regulation of two discrete circuits is carried
out at the same time via a single push.
 DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw)- This type of switch equals two SPDT
switches combinedly, meaning two separate circuits connect each circuit’s two
inputs to one of two outputs. The position of the switch regulates the number of
ways, and each contact can be routed from the two contacts.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Familiarize the materials used in installing Single Pole Single throw (SPST)
switch
2. Internalize the application of SPST switch
3. Install wiring methods using SPST switch
