What can be compared to a three-way switch?
a switch on railroad tracks
How can an intermediate switch be used with a 2-way switch system to control a light from four floors?
A two way switch is UK terminology for a North American three way switch. Though the switch has two names it is still a Single Pole Double Throw switch that has three terminals. North American terminology. The circuit is the same as the three way switch system. To control from four locations just add another intermediate switch. For the system to work properly the new intermediate switch has to be adjacent to the existing intermediate switch. The connections must run - three way, intermediate, intermediate, three way.
Why won't a three way lamp switch work on all three settings when used in a outlet controlled by a wall switch?
If the wall switch is on, the three way lamp switch should work. If it doesn't, it may be broken or there may be something else wrong with the circuit.
Why do they call a three-way switch when it isn't?
The switch operates from two locations, such as upstairs and downstairs, but there are three ways it can be set: both switches "on", both switches "off", or one switch "on" and one switch "off".
Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?
No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.
Can you replace an old no ground single switch with a three way switch?
A three way switch can be used as a single switch. Replacing this switch will not allow you to switch a fixture from two locations unless there is a three wire cable going to the second box.
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.

What is a 3 way switch?
A three way switch is a switch that is used in a lighting circuit that allows the light fixture to be turned on from three separate locations within the building. In electrical terminology this switch is also referred to as a SPST, Single Pole Single Throw switch. The switch has three individual terminals of which two are always connected. These switches are usually located at the far extremes of the circuit with an intermediate switch between them. This intermediate switch is referred to an a four way switch.

Is there a way to wire a 3 way household dimmer switch as a 2 way dimmer switch?
You need a three way switch to control lights from two locations. The name is misleading. Three way switch refers to the connection points on the switch. You can use a three way switch as a single switch as long as you place hot wire on the brass screw and the use any of the other screws for the return hot.
When the show spanning-tree vlan 33 command is issued on a switch three ports are shown in the forwarding state In which two port roles could these interfaces function while in the forwarding state?

What is a tpn switch?

Can you use this switch for three phase incoming and single phase outgoing?
No A intermediate switch can not be used to change three phase to single phase.
