How to Wire a 3-Way Light Switch

There are three basic types of light prekidačima.Prvi is a simple, one button for svjetlo.Drugi a 3-way switch that controls a lighting fixture from two lokacije.Treći a 4-way switch that controls a lighting fixture from three or multiple locations.

the easiest way of shifting three times is a place of light between two switches. You have to look closely at the electrical wiring diagram to understand.

cable should be 12.2 Romex to the first switch, then run 12.3 Romex to light, and then to another switch.

12.3 Romex has an extra wire called the traveler (usually red), which is required for 3-way switch.

The first switch, 12.2 Romex from the circle drive into the bottom of the switch and the hot (black) cable connects to the bottom right terminal on the switch.

12.3 Romex enters through the top preklopnik.Vruće traveler (red) wire connects to the top left terminal on prekidač.Crna (hot) wire connects to the top right terminal on the switch.

12.3 neutral (white) wire connects directly to the 12.2 neutral wires with wire nuts and copper ground wires are also connected with wire nuts.
At the light box, you should have two ends 12.3 Romex hanging out. One end comes out the other end of the first switch is coming from another switch.

First connect the copper wires of the country, together with a wire nut to be out of the way, and then connect the two red traveler wires together with wire nuts as well.

Now to find the black wire from the first box and the white wire coming from the other boxes and connect them together with wire nuts. Now, it is important, you must mark the end of each wire so that the white packaging with black electrical tape. This means that the hot wire. This is the condition? It is common practice for 3 or 4-way switches.

Now, in another switch, you will connect the red traveler wire to the top left corner terminala.Bijela wire is now marked as a black belt, connects the upper right terminala.Crna wire will connect to the lower right terminal screw. copper wire will be connected to the frame, if the metal box or the green ground screw on the switch, if the plastic box.

light box should now have a black wire and white wires sticking out of it what you will need to connect the light.
