Timer Using Switch wiring:

This diagram shows how to make a Timer Using Switch wiring. In this circuit, we use a single-phase energy meter, an SP MCB ( Single Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker ), an ELCB ( Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker ), four timer relays, and four lights. First, we need to input the power connection to the energy meter, then input the connection to MCB and ElCB circuit breaker, then connect the lights and timers with the ELCB. Now this circuit is ready for use. If you want to know more about this circuit please check our youtube video below the post.

Components used to make the Timer Using Switch wiring:

01. Single Phase Energy Meter:

A Single-Phase Energy Meter is a sort of Watt-Hour meter. It consists of two Electromagnets. Single-Phase Energy Meter is also Popularly known as a watt-hour meter. One Magnet is called the shunt magnet Ml which is Mounted with a Pressure coil. The Pressure coil is a long coil Made of fine Copper wire which is connected across the Supply line. Single-phase energy meters are suitable for measuring single-phase AC current frequencies of 50/60 Hz, which are used for fixed indoor installations.

02. CFL Lihgt:

CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp which is an improved version of tube lights of earlier days. Like tube lights, it is a vacuum glass tube with fluorescent powder coating which is not as long and straight as tube lights but curved/twisted compact, or small in size. Like a tube light, it has electrodes or filaments at both ends. But in this case, instead of a choke, there is an electronic circuit that drives the Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Because the red wave is less in the light of the Tubelight and Compact Fluorescent Lamp, the object looks a little pale or the correct color of the object does not appear.

03. ELCB:

ELCB complete earth leakage circuit breaker works on earth leakage production. Usually, the ELCB circuit breaker has two cables Phase and Neutral if any load is directly connected to the earth without taking neutral from ELCB then the circuit breaker will trip automatically. Earth leakage circuit breakers are used in applications to prevent electric shock and electrical fire caused by a short circuit or overload in the control panel by automatically closing when leakage is detected.

04. SP MCB:

In single-pole MCB, Switching & Protection is Affected in only one Phase. Single phase supply to break the phase only. A single Pole breaker is Typically used with 120-volt Circuits, 15-20 amps. They are constructed with one Hot Wire and one Neutral wire. An SP switch is the most basic General-Purpose switch that you use to Control a light or another device from one location. These Switches have two Brass-Colored screw Terminals Connected to the hot Power source wires. Pole refers to the number of Circuits Controlled by the Switch SP Switches Control only one Electrical Circuit.

05. Relay:

The most popular relay for automation work is the 8 Pin Relay. 8 pin relay has DC or AC coil as the main part. which is connected to two pins. There are two common parts. Underneath a Common part are an NO and an NC part. No part is normally open with a common part and the NC part is normally closed. The timer base used for automation is the same as the 8-relay base. That is, switching can be done using the timer base. This is basically how a relay switch works.
