Connecting a bundled capacitor for LightSwitch [120]. Why is it needed, and how to connect it to lamps?

Updated

The bundled capacitor is a device intended to provide sufficient power supply for LightSwitch [120] and stable operation of lamps in the following cases:

  • the power of the lamp is less than 20 W (an approximate value that can vary depending on the type and technical characteristics of the lighting appliance);
  • the turned-off lamp is flashing;
  • LightSwitch [120] is malfunctioning or unstable;
  • adding LightSwitch [120] to the system fails (with an installed touch-sensitive panel);
  • another abnormal operation of LightSwitch [120] or lighting appliance is observed.

Note: even if the power of the lamp exceeds the minimum requirement, but LightSwitch or lamp still operates unstably, the bundled capacitor should be connected.

The bundled capacitor should be connected in parallel with the lighting device according to the following diagram: in a lamp socket or terminal board nearby.

In practice, the connection of a bundled capacitor to a lighting appliance can look as follows:
