How many terminals does a two way lighting switch have?

How many terminals does a one way lighting switch have?

Two, and possibly a ground. The ground will be clearly marked with a green colored screw.


You hooked up a ceiling fan when you turn the switch off it comes on when you turn the switch on the breaker flips?

The only way that this could happen is if the switch is a change-over/two-way switch or a switch to a lamp/light. When you switch on, you are short-circuiting the mains. Probably, educated guess, you need to wire the fan across two other terminals if it is two-way, or you need to wire it in to the ceiling rose of the lamp, not the switch. The problem with switches in lighting circuits is that the wires to the switch are not positive and negative, they are usually both positive - one from the supply, one to the lamp. Unless the current drain to the fan is huge - unlikely.


How do you wire a two way switch one controls the outlet the other the outdoor light with a pigtail?

You need two separate switches. You can get two switches that are in the same form factor as a single switch (2 gang switch). You use one switch for the outlet and the other for the light. You switch the black wires which are "hot".


Difference between one way switch and two way switch?

A 'one way' switch is typically considered a 'single pole' switch with essentially one contact for the connection of an electrical circuit. A 'two way' switch probably refers to what is considered a 'three way' switch. where a single, common terminal can be connect to one of two possible contact points. (One incoming wire, and two potential 'outgoing' connections. A single pole switch is typical used when a device (light switch, fan, receptacle) only needs to be controlled from one location. A 'three way switch' is used when a device needs to be controlled from more than one (I.E. the top and bottom of a stairway, at both ends of a hallway) A three way switch allows for a device to be controlled independently from two locations, regardless of the position of the other switch.

How do you disable daytime running lights on 2008 Sequoia?

To disable the daytime running lights on a 2008 Sequoia, turn the head light switch to the center position. It should show two headlights, one with an 'X' and a line between the two.

How do you disable automatic door locks on 96 maxima?

You can disable the lock switches on all the doors. Take the two screws out, slide the spring over and disconnect the switch.


Is there a residential switch 15A rating that will allow one source to be switched to either of two loads?

Yes, a three way lighting switch will do that job. There is no off position if you use this type of switch, it will be either one load or the other on all of the time. To over come this condition you can install a single pole switch ahead of the single pole double throw (three way switch, two way switch in the UK). There is a small toggle switch that has an on - off - on positions but it is not a residential switch.


Can you mix two hot wires and neutral in same shut-off switch?

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.


What type of switch is installed to control a luminaire from two different control points?

A Three-way switch. 3-ways are used to control from two locations. As opposed to a Four-way switch, which is needed to control from more than two locations.

Why do bulb glow when you switch it on?

Because electricity flow through it's wire. Electricity came from outlets source. When you plugged in a device, electricity will flow into two ways. One is directed on a bulb and the other one is cut. Two points of cut wires are put in a switch so if you presses the switch, the other current (whether positive or negative) will generate full electricity that is capable of lighting a light bulb.


What is a 3 gang 3 way switch?

3 gang switch and you can call it 2-way switch..is a type of swithces we are using mostly in the stairs lighting ,that mean you have switch up to the stair and one down to the stair and you can switch the light on from one and switch it off from the other switch and via verse. <<>> There is no such thing as a three gang three way switch,. The nearest thing is a three gang double throw switch. It is used to supply a three phase load from two individual three phase supply sources. This is the type of manual switch that can be used for emergency power switch over from utility to generator. Three way switching uses a single pole double throw switch at each end of the circuit and a cross over switch in the center position. The center switch in a three way lighting configuration is a cross over switch and a double pole double throw switch in that position will not work.
