How to repair the switch

To correct situation when the chandelier began to join every other time, often there is enough school knowledge of physics. The main thing is to observe safety measures strictly.

It is required to you

  • - screw-driver,
  • - flat-nose pliers,
  • - tester or sampler.

Instruction

1. Before uncovering the switch body, switch-off automatic safety locks or turn out traffic jams. Having uncovered with the help the screw-driver, attentively examine wires, suitable to the switch. They have to be without traces of the burned isolation and are well clamped by screws. Move them to make sure of contact density. Click the switch, check whether its corresponding parts under the influence of spring up to the end reach.

2. If externally everything looks normally, perhaps, the rupture of chain on the site to the switch takes place. To check this version, use ordinary lampochny sampler. It represents cartridge with electrolamp of the minimum power with two departing insulated wires of centimeters till 10-15. The free ends of wires are bared on 5 mm. Screw for the period of stopper or turn on safety locks. Concern the ends of lamp sampler of terminals of the switch. If the bulb on your sampler lights up along with lamp on the light device which serves the switch, problem in the switch. If is not present – break somewhere on the site of chain, and the professional electrician has to be engaged in similar repair. Especially, if the electrical wiring is hidden under plaster.

3. In case problem in wear of mobile or stationary plastic parts, just replace the switch with new. For this purpose weaken screws and release wires, suitable to the switch. Accurately unbend them upward. Then unscrew screws which fix the switch body to wooden or plastic substrate, and remove the switch. Install the new switch, it is desirable the same type, and reliably clamp contacts. Fix cover.

4. If you see that the isolation which has burned, the wire has changed the physical properties – has become thinner or has at all fused – cut off the spoiled pieces flat-nose pliers or side cutting pliers. It is good when the switch or the socket have wire stock in the form of loop – it is specially left for similar situations. If it is absent, it is necessary to move the switch on the wall. In this case it is necessary to proshtrabit the small site of plaster. On the prepared new place beat or fix substrate on self-tapping screws, then tighten to it on screws the switch body. Bring the wires which are smoothed out at necessary length from isolation to terminals of the switch and clamp. Fix cover.
