Yes two "hot" wires and a neutral can enter into a switch box. This is done on occasions where a three wire enters a switch box, drops off one circuit for the lighting and the other "hot" wire carries on to feed a receptacle circuit.

How do you wire a 3 way dimmer switch that has two black wires and one green?
You need to first determine where wires go. If you Google 3 Way Switch you can get a diagram. Each switch has 3 contacts.. Think about a kids teeter totter. Each end represents a switch contact and the center is a common point. You connect the ends to either end on the 2nd switch. The common contact on one switch goes to supply power hot side and on the other switch the common point goes to the load. Then the neutral of supply connects to the load neutral and the supply ground connects to the ground of the load.
What wire size for 400 amp service neutral size?
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
How do you install a 20 amp switch for well pump?
Black/White/Ground power in and the same out. Tie the incoming and outgoing white wires together under a yellow wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the ground wires together under a green wire nut and connect the pigtail from those ground wires to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Doesn't matter which black wire you connect to which screw.
I am removing a dimmer switch to put in a regular switch but there are two incoming hot wires what do i do?
The regular switch just connects in the circuit the same way as the dimmer switch came out. If the dimmer switch had its own wires the only difference will be is you will have to supply your own wires from the new switch to the existing connection. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
How do you control 4 light in one switch and the same lights control by 4 switches?
You want four switches to independently turn 4 lights on and off. You need two 3-way switches, and two 4-way switches. The first 3-way is located where the power first comes into this system, two travelers (wires) go to the first 4-way switch, two travelers then go from that switch to the other 4-way switch and two wires go to the final 3 way switch. The third wire on the last 3 way switch then goes to the first light fixture. This is a complicated wiring project and it is not as simple as it sounds. Realistically, you will have more than 2 wires traveling between switches depending on whether the neutral is located, and further more dependent on whether power from the panel first comes to a switch or to a light fixture. You need to plan this well or you may have more wires in one or more boxes than code allows. Also, wires must be attached in particular positions on all the switches, or you will end up with a situation where some of the switches will work and some won't and troubleshooting is very complex.
Is the inertia switch and fuel shutoff switch the same thing?
Yes
How do you wire a 20A switch which comes with a neutral wire when only 2 wires are available for the circuit?
You never switch a neutral wire, only hots. hooking both hot and neutral to the same switch will result in a short when the swith is turned on.
How do you bypass neutral safety switch on 88 Toyota pickup?

Does anyone know where the backup light switch is on a 1968 Mustang with a 289 and C4 transmission?
AnswerIt should be on the left side of trans where the shift levers are. It is called the neutral safety switch and the backup light switch is built into the same switch. So, this switch allows your car to only be started in park or neutral and when in reverse, it will turn on the backup lights. There are four wires on the neutral safety switch with a square connector on the end.
Is the neutral start switch the same thing as the neutral safety switch on a 1997 ford ranger 23l 4cly?

What is the neutral safety switch on 1996 Oldsmobile cutlass cierra?
Its the same as on all cars. The safety neutral switch is why you cannot start your car in gear.
How many neutral wires are needed for lighting and outlets?
If they are on the same circuit you only need 1 neutral wire in the circuit.

How do you get to the fuel switch on a 1996 Ford Escort?
The fuel shutoff switch shold be in the bottom panel on the driver side near door and floorboard... there should be an access panel labeled fuel pump switch..if this helps Your fuel shut off switch is located behind the passenger side rear suspension.
