I'm after some help from anyone in the know. I bought a 240V rocker switch from jaycar today, got home to find it doesn't specify the circuitry. It has 1,2,3 marked vertically down one side, and blank on the other. It is an on/off switch. Only 2 functions. Now because this switch lights up, I'm assuming the the adjacent sides to each number is the power/earth for the light?
I wired it up to my 240v-12v transformer, and wired that to a computer fan to test.
So connection 1 is Active in, bridged to the adjacent prong.
Connection 2 is earth in, bridged to adjacent prong, and earth out.
Connection 3 is Active out, bridged to the adjacent prong.
And Neutral feeds directly into the transformer.
I tripped the rcd when I plugged it in, so the order I've plugged in currently is wrong. I don't really feel like guessing the order and risking damage to my rcd, so if anyone knows anything about these switches, please enlighten me.
I should note that the transformer and fan works, plugged it in and tested prior to wiring the switch.
