2 way lighting in singles

[YoungBart]

Hi all
Got my 206 practical tommorow and one of the circuits we have to wire is a two way lighting in singles ( Taking the feed to the switch). I've got a good idea on how to do it, just wondered if anyone would tell me so i can double check my method. Cheers.

Feed to switch 1 common. Link switch 1 L1 to switch 2 L1 and switch 1 L2 to switch 2 L2. From common of switch 2 go to light.

agree with sintra you can also wire the switches using all brown singles as they are all live and do not then need to be identified as such

red means danger !!

and the neutral straight from cu to light

and your cpc has to go round all points

Thanks all.
Thats the way I was thinking (honest). Just wanted to double check.

ive my 206 next week, what does yours consist of , im assuming you've done the planning cheers

 

[YoungBart]

Mine is pretty simple, 2 Way to a bulkhead and a normal light, A radial consisting of 2 metalclad and 2 plastic sockets, and a SWA to a FCU. all done in a combo of plastic and metal conduit. All the planning has been done and was a doddle. What about yourself?

 

[i=p/u]

there will be a cu on the wall, and we have to add sub cu in swa , then off on pvc conduit to 50x50 pvc trunking then two way lighting circuit with two lights and a ring circuit , 4 sockets... some mounted on wood and some on brick... no steel conduit , which we practised all year

 

[YoungBart]

Sounds a bit more tricky than ours. We practiced steel trunking all year, only to find that ours is all pre mounted for the exam. (Typical Hull college)

think you need 15mm copper for that with conex fittings apparently if you fill it with water you can do away with the CPC all together
