1, The characteristics of purple lines
Firstly, let's take a look at the characteristics of the purple line. In lighting fixtures, the purple line is usually a thinner line, with a color of purple or purple blue. It usually appears together with other wires such as blue (neutral wire), brown (live wire), etc.
2, The function of purple lines
Safety function: Purple lines usually play a safety role in lighting fixtures. It may be a type of grounding wire or protective wire. In the circuit, the function of the grounding wire is to connect the electrical casing to the ground, in order to prevent the electrical casing from being charged and avoid the risk of electric shock. The protective wire is designed to protect the safety of electrical appliances and users. In the event of a short circuit or leakage of electricity, the purple wire can lead the current to the ground to avoid electric shock injuries.
Anti static function: Static electricity may be generated in lighting fixtures, especially in dry environments. Purple lines can help eliminate static electricity in lighting fixtures and reduce the potential harm of static electricity to human health and equipment.
Auxiliary debugging function: In some advanced or specially designed lighting fixtures, the purple line may also have auxiliary debugging function. Through the purple line, engineers or technicians can debug, repair, or monitor the lighting fixtures to optimize their performance.
Signal transmission function: In some lighting fixtures, purple lines may also be used to transmit specific signals, such as remote control signals or control signals for smart lighting fixtures. By transmitting signals through purple lines, remote control or intelligent management of lighting fixtures can be achieved.
3, Other cables in the lighting fixtures
In addition to the purple wire, other colors of cables are commonly seen in lighting fixtures, including blue (neutral wire), brown (live wire), yellow green (ground wire), etc. They each undertake different functions and together form the circuit system of the lamp.
Blue (neutral wire): Brings current back from the appliance to the power source to ensure the integrity and stability of the circuit.
Brown (live wire): Conveys current from the power source to the electrical appliance, providing electrical energy supply.
Yellow green (ground wire): used for safe grounding to prevent harm to users in case of electrical leakage.
4, Precautions during use
When using lighting fixtures, we need to pay attention to the following points:
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the wiring of the lighting fixtures to ensure the integrity and safety of the purple wire and other cables.
Compliant use: Install and use lighting fixtures correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring proper cable connections.
Safety awareness: Avoid unauthorized disassembly or modification of lighting fixtures to avoid potential safety hazards.
