WAGO connectors

[martysparky]

Wagos 222 for down lights?

Don't mean to be rude but someone here posted the link and, I like the look of them, just not entirely sure how to employ them?

That is: Terminate and simply push up into the void?

or

Do I need some sort of enclosure?...if so what would fit?


Cheers...

can you put more than one 3 wire cable in the 3 lever connectors ?

so a 3 connector would would have 6 wires etc when using 2 cables

I have not used them yet but the way I see it is

e.g. A light that needs connections made in the void.
You use one 3 lever connector for three live, another connector for the neutral and another for the cpc another for the switch live oh and another for the accessory feed and put them all in a choc box to protect them against dust and pulling.

If I'm wrong in any way please correct me Bugsy.

i guess that is right

what i was saying is cant you use a 2 lever and just put 2 live in one and 3rd in the 2nd lever

etc

saying that I think if the accessory was not double insulated the connector for the cpc would have to be 4 lever.

And what I meant was a total of four connectors. NOT another for the feed as the switch live is the feed lol.
