Godown wiring circuit diagram and working

 Godown wiring uses to operate lamps/loads in a sequential
manner, where only one load operates at a time. As its name
implies ” Godown wiring “, it is commonly used for light switching
in godowns, tunnel-like structures, long passages.. etc, where the
light is only required for passage or it requires only at one
position at a time. The advantage of the godown wiring is the
previous load will be turned off when we normally switch ON the
next load.

In godown wiring, the loads are not controlled by a random

switching. The user should follow a linear sequence in the
switching, from one end to another. That is, to close the circuit for
a final load the remaining switches should be ON. That is the load
is in series with remaining switches from the beginning end. So
the circuit opens if any of the previous switches have flipped OFF.

Godown wiring circuit arrangement

The phase has connected to the common pole of the first switch. The
1st throw of the switch has connected to load. And the 2nd throw has
connected to the common pole of the next switch. Initially, common
poles of all the switches are positioned to the 1st throw of the SPDT
switch. So in such an arrangement, changing the switch position to
2nd throw OFF’s previous load and ON the next one. By this
arrangement, an infinite number of loads can be connected in a
sequence.

Switch S1 in the circuit is SPST and remaining are SPDT (Refer:

electrical abbreviations and full forms), also called as a changeover
switch. In godown wiring, the loads and switches are generally
connected with equal spacing. The gauge of wire or the load capacity
of the wiring should be considered based on the power rating and the

7
number of loads. If the power rating of all the loads is same, the ideal
power consumption will be constant. Because even though the circuit
has a number of loads only one load will be ON at a time. So, the
number of loads makes a change only on the length of wiring and the
overall wire resistance. That is the copper loss or the heat loss in the
wiring.
