Hi there guys, I'm Uzair from Pakistan. Here we have 3 phase 4 wire system and while my house was being constructed, i put two wires (Red & Black) from main distribution board to one of the pillars of the gate for bell push.. Now when i connect one of the three phases with the red wire and black with the neutral and i connect the two wires with the bell, after the bell button is pushed it sparks... I am not getting what is the procedure to wire a bell button.. Isn't it like a phase directly to one point of the ell and neutral to the other?? Please help me and explain how to wire a bell push so i can conmect a bell at my house



Best Regards, Uzair Amir

Use a transformer in the house and run low-voltage (say 12 volts) wiring to your gate, and connect to a low-voltage bell. See for example

No, use a neon-sign transformer to run 15kV to the gate, then you don't need a bell at all, you'll be able to hear visitors scream from the house.

What? Are you sure this is not a wiring for an intruder deterrent? Brian

Why are you being serious? the OP is not.

You need a bell transformer so only 5-8v goes out to the gate.

You might also find your bell is fried by the mains voltage.

If the OP gets the primary and secondary of his bell transformer confused, it won't be far off that!

Quite! Even you should have resisted the urge to respond. :-/

That posting was bad on _so_ many levels, it just wasn't worth wasting any time to attempt a reply.

When I tried to read the OP's post, the quote "It sounds like english but I can't understand a word you say." came immediately to mind. :-)

Oops! More accurately, "It sounds like English but I can't understand a word you're saying."
