ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS 75 any 3-wire circuit is unbalanced by connecting an am meter to each side successively, or by connecting it to the neutral wire between the first piece of current-consuming apparatus and the switchboard. 3-Wire System Wire Sizes (49) To calculate wire sizes suitable for 3-wire systems, proceed as for ordinary 2-wire circuits, giving consideration only to the true negative and true positive — the outside wires. Having determined the necessary size for the outside wires, install a neutral of the same diameter. Switches (50) In Fig. 19 we see, at the top, what is known as a single-pole, single-throw knife-switch. It is a single-throw for the reason that it can make but one Figure 19 contact, namely with the copper spring clip, C. At the other end the "knife" or "blade" is permanently attached to clip D. The circuit wires are attached to lugs EE. The base upon which the parts are mounted is made of insulating material. When knife A is pulled out of clip C, the line is broken and all current flow is stopped. SPST is the recognized abbreviation of this type of switch. (51) Immediately beneath this we see a single pole, double throw SPDT switch. It is exactly like the one above except that at the left is a second copper spring clip with which the switch blade can make contact. This type
