How to Wire a 3-Way Light Switch



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

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

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

is an additional 12.3 Romex cable is called a traveler (usually red), which is required for 3-way switch.

At a 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 the top right terminal on the switch.

12.3 neutral (white) wire connects directly to the 12.2 neutral wire with wire nuts and copper ground wires are also connected with wire nuts.
On 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 earth wire of copper, together with a wire nut to get them out of the way, and then connect the two red traveler wires together with wire nuts, as well.

Now 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's important, you must mark each end of the white wire to the pack with black electrical tape. This means that the hot wire. This is the condition? It is common practice for 3 and 4-way switches.
