Methods of Wiring: Three-Plate Method

There are three main methods for wiring light circuits: the three-plate ceiling rose method, joint or junction box method, and loop-in method. The three-plate ceiling rose method runs a twin earth cable around all lamp fittings in a radial circuit. The joint or junction box method brings all cables to a common point to make connections. The loop-in method uses conduit or trunking and single core cables, ensuring the switches receive line and lamps receive neutral.
