What is a simple wiring diagram for a light switch?
A simple wiring diagram for a light switch involves connecting the power source to the switch, and then connecting the switch to the light fixture. The power source is typically connected to the switch through a black wire, and the switch is connected to the light fixture through a white wire. A ground wire is also connected for safety.
How do you hook up an overhead light in the kitchen to a two way switch?
To hook up an overhead light in the kitchen to a two-way switch, you will need to run a 3-wire cable between the light fixture and the two switches. Connect the black wire of the cable to the light fixture, the white wire to the neutral wires, and the red wire to the two switches. At the switches, connect the red wire to the common terminals and the black and white wires to the traveler terminals.
Why would a light switch have two black wires for power and two whites caped off?
Black represents Hot and White common. For the light to operate it needs a white and black wires. The switch box has two cables with a white and black wire plus a ground. One wire is from the supply and the other to the light. Connecting the whites just provides common directly to the light. The blacks go into and out of switch because it is the hot side that is being switched.
When connecting chain switch what is done with the neutral wire and white wire from ballast?
The neutral wire from the chain switch is connected to the white wire from the ballast. They should be connected together using a wire nut to ensure proper circuit completion and safe operation of the light fixture.
What is the correct light switch wire diagram for installing a new light switch in a room?
The correct light switch wire diagram for installing a new light switch in a room involves connecting the live wire (usually black) to the common terminal, the neutral wire (usually white) to the neutral terminal, and the ground wire (usually green or bare copper) to the ground terminal on the light switch. It's important to turn off the power before starting the installation to avoid any accidents.
Can you power a light switch power to switch then to light from a switch beside the one you want hot the switch that you want to take power from has the white as hot switch after light?
I can not understand your question.
Can you wire a light switch with only one 14-2 wire?
If the power feed goes directly to a fixture, or if you are wishing to switch a receptacle that is not now switched, you can us a 14-2 NM cable to install a "switch loop", provided the circuit is no larger than 15 amps. To do this, after running the 14-2 NM cable, connect the WHITE conductor of the 14-2 to the hot wire. At the switch, connect the black and white conductors to the switch terminals. At the fixture or receptacle, the black wire of the 14-2 NM cable now becomes your switch leg and is connected to the black conductor of the fixture or brass terminal of the receptacle. The NEC (for the United States) requires that the switch be fed with the white wire and the black wire be used as your switch leg.
Have 3 lights Power to light 1 Need to connect light 2 then light 3 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?
You would wire the switch to the first light. Code says to break the black or power side of the circuit. Connect the white to the light. Take the black down to the switch on the black wire and back to the light on the white. This is a line of wire from the light to the switch. From the first light, take the white and the return white from the switch to the second with another run of wire. This will be regular black white with ground. White to white and at the first light the return line from the switch is white but hook to the black to the second light. Second light to third just continues the two wires. Black to black, white to white. I think this is clear enough to follow. If not, ask again.
Can you replace wall light switch with a PIR switch if Wall switch has usual live neutral and earth but PIR has live in live out and neutral.?
An ordinary light switch does NOT have any neutral -- it only switches the live wire. Some installers use the white wire as a "switched" wire to the light fixture, where the power cable went to the light and a separate cable went to the switch. Technically, the white wire should have been marked with red or black tape at each end, to signify it is not neutral - it is either live or off. In that case, you would not be able to use a PIR switch because there is no neutral, which is necessary to provide power to the electronic circuit in the PIR. You would need to rewire the switch with a new power cable from the branch circuit. The you have the live and neutral wires in the outlet box, connect them to the PIR, and run the pigtailed neutral and the switched live (and pigtailed ground) to the light fixture (where you would disconnect the other power cable completely and cap the ends separately).
How do you wire multiple lights on a 3-way switch with one between and one not?
Explain in more detail what you mean. What is between: the switch or the light? What are you trying to accomplish with this setup? The term 3-way switch means 2 switches controlling one or more lights. If you have 2 lights and one switch then you need a standard 75 cent switch. Generally with 3-way switches, there are 3 wires not including the ground, black, white and red. some houses attach the white to the switch, some attach the black. Generally the white will feed through the box not attaching to anything but another white wire. The black will attach to the upper and lower screws on one side of the switch while the red attaches to the opposite side. The red goes to the other switch and black goes to the light fixture(s).
Wii is hooked up to TV but it is not in color why?
Check your cable. If you are using a universal component cable, and the switch on the cable is set to video, you will get only black and white on the Wii. Flip the switch to component and your problem may vanish - mine did.
What is the color of the filament if we turn the switch?
The filament will emit a white light when the switch is turned on.
