Is the fuse clipped in on this or do I need to wire the fuse into the circuit?
I can’t see that it’s clipped in but when I wire the live through the fuse it shorts.

Here’s what switch I’m using: schurter AC Power entry module 6762.




The wire photo is what I tried.

 

Welcome to the forums.

It's wired incorrectly.
I can help you.
What are you connecting to this ? appliance ?

 

Assuming this is a 120v appliance/device.
The neutral/blue doesn't get switched unless specifically called for.
You only need to use one of the switches. The three colored dots are where you device connects.
The two red lines are connecting the internal fuseholder.

 

Hi,

Nice to meet you and thank you for the quick reply.

the switch is going on a light fixture. Switch connects to a meanwell hlg-480h-c2100A

i was told the switch would work for both 220v and 120v so the cord would only have to be swapped out to change voltage. I was plugging into a converter at 220v and it shorts.

does polarity matter on which side of the fuse I wire too?

i tried it without wiring in the fuse and it lit up.

thank you again for your help. I can’t understand how I’m not getting this everything seems correct.

 

Didn’t see your first response. Sorry about that I’m going to try what you posted and see if it works. Thanks again.

 

Your pictured wiring and my diagram are nowhere near close. Your wiring creates a dead short.
If you are using this switch in a 230-240v circuit..... connect the blue wire to the switch so that both lines are switched.

 

That makes sense. The picture you just posted makes complete sense. I’m self taught and do a lot of diy I was taring my hair out trying to figure out my mistake and was so embarrassed to even ask. Thank you.

so with that diagram will that only work for 220v? So In order to swap out cords and run on 120v later I’ll need to rewire the switch?

Im going to research how to test all this with my multimeter this weekend so I can check my connections better moving forward. From what I can see if I do that I won’t have this issue again.

 

You can use the second diagram as it is ok to disconnect the neutral from a light fixture.

 

It worked!!

I feel so stupid I had it wired backwards... I looked at my old iec 320 switch and it’s literally the same wiring just this one I have to wire the fuse in. I’ve literally wired a bunch of these but always used cheap ones from amazon but recently had a few burn out so wanted to get something better. I was so intimidated by having to wire the fuse in that I missed it and couldn’t see my mistake. As embarrassing as it is I literally spent hrs on YouTube and google looking for this exact switch to figure it out before coming here and the hole time it was right in front of my face.


thank you so much for the help!

 

No problem. You are very welcome.
