2 Way Switch Diagram. What is Two Way Switching ? The schematic is nice and simple to visualise the principal of how a two way switch works but is little help when it coms to actually wiring this up in real life!!
The schematic is nice and simple to visualise the principal of how a two way switch works but is little help when it coms to actually wiring this up in real life!! You might have noticed that in Homes we use two switches in the staircase to control a light at both locations. Two three-way switches control one light with the electric power coming through the light on a two wire cable.
Look carefully at the box you got the switch out of.
Three-way and four-way switches make it possible to control a light from multiple locations, such as the top and bottom of a stairway, either end of a long hallway, or multiple doorways into a large room.
How do you plan on wiring them? When you have two standard switches (non electronic) that control a light (one or more). Two three-way switches control one light with the electric power coming through the light on a two wire cable.
