EXPERIMENT NO 3

TWO WAY AND THREE WAY CONTROL OF LAMP AND


FORMATION OF TRUTH TABLE
AIM: To control one lamp from two and three places.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

SL.NO NAME OF EQUIPMENT RANGE QUANTITY


1 DPST 10A/250V 1 No.
2 Two way switches 5A 2 No.
3 Intermediate switch 5A 1 No.
4 Lamp holder 5A 1 No.
5 Lamp 40W 1No.
6 Connecting wires Required
THEORY:
Switches can be used to control circuits (electrical devices). A circuit can be controlled by more
than one switch.
Two way control: Two way control of lamp is used in stair case lighting applications or in big
halls for controlling the lamp from two different points.
Three way control: A lamp can be controlled from three different locations. The circuit needs an
intermediate switch along with two number 2-way switches. Intermediate switch has two states
namely straight and cross-connection. Applications of three way control of lamp are go-down
lighting, cellars lighting, corridor lighting etc.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Fig 3.1

PROCEDURE: (Two way control)


1. The circuit connection as made as shown in Fig 3.1.
2. Give supply to circuit by switching ON MCB.
3. By operating two way switches S1 and S2 , observe the condition of lamp.
4. Verify the truth table given below and trace the corresponding circuit connection.
5. Open the switch and remove all connections.

3. By operating two way switches S1 & S2 and intermediate switch S3 , observe the condition of
lamp.
4. Verify the truth table given above.
5. Open the switch and remove all connections and trace the corresponding circuit connection.

Note: In intermediate switch, throw 1 of the switch makes straight connection (EF&GH )
and throw 2 makes cross connection ( EH&GF ).

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Fuse should be selected such that its current rating is 120% of no load current of the
transformer.
2. The DPST switch is kept opened at the time of starting the experiment while giving
connections.
3. The load should be in the off position while at the start of the experiment.
