What effect would occur if the intermediate switch s3 were replace by a double pole switch?

You seem to be referring about a 3 way lighting circuit. If the cross over switch is replaced with a double pole switch, depending on how the switch was wired into the circuit, the load lamp would either stay on or not light at all. A circuit in a three way configuration has two traveler legs between the two switches The intermediate switch in the circuit just switches the two traveler legs from open to close depending on the position of the other two switched. Google, three way switching, they have many diagrams to work from.

How many watts can you put on a light switch?

If we assume that you are using a common 15 Amp lighting circuit and switch and using 120 volts to power the bulbs then you need to keep the wattage at 80% of 15 amp worse case or 12 amps. Watts = amps x volts for standard incandescent bulbs. 12 x 120 = 1440 watts.


What kind of experience does one need to operate lighting equipment?

There are many things one needs to know when operating lighting equipment. Depending on the particular style and model, one may need to have a history of studying theater and arts.


What are relay switches?

a relay switch can be used to control one voltage from another(e.g. 24 volt controlling a 120v circuit), or controlling multiple functions and circuits from one voltage switch or location. advantages to relays are that the size of conductor can be greatly reduced with a lower voltage(cost and ease of installation) and consumer convienience(one switch for 100 lights or one photocell controlling an entire parking lots lighting even with a rating of 15 amps)

How many line conductors are installed between the switch and light fixture?

One. A typical "two way" ON-OFF light switch is a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch with two terminals. It is wired in series with the fixture: that is, the power circuit is routed from the breaker to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. In a 115VAC single phase circuit, the other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. A "three way" switch circuit consists of two switches in different locations, each of which is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with three terminals. A typical use would have one switch at the top and the other at the bottom of a set of stairs. For the sake of clarity, we can label the "common" terminal on a SPDT switch the "C" terminal. This terminal is internally connected to one of the other two terminals, call them "A" and "B", depending of the position of the switch. A three way switch is connected with the circuit breaker connected to the "C" terminal on either switch. Conductors connect the "A" terminal on one switch the the "A" terminal on the other switch and the "B" terminal on one switch the the "B" terminal on the other switch. The remaining "C" terminal is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. The other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. Note that, in either case, there is no neutral wire connected to the switch. Ground conductors do connect to the chassis of the switch box and the fixture, but they do not carry current and do not affect the operation of the circuit.


How many terminals does a two way lighting switch have?

A two-way lighting switch typically has 4 terminals: two terminals for the switched circuit and two terminals for the incoming power supply.


What type of switch would be used to control a lighting load from one control point?

In this type of situation, where there is more than one lighting circuit, a lighting contactor would be used. These types of contactors can be obtained in four and five pole configurations. Make sure that the contactor is rated for lighting loads and not motor loads. A normal switch, single pole single throw, would be used to switch the contactors on and off. A single switch could then be used to control as many contactors as you need to operate the lighting circuits.If there is just one lighting circuit, the total circuit amperage must be known, then the switch would be sized to the amperage of the circuit.

How many hot terminals are there on a 3-way light switch?

No good way to answer this. A 3-way light switch has one wire coming to it, two wires run to the second switch and one back out of the second switch to the light. At any point, any one of the terminals may be "hot". The only one always hot is the first single terminal that is the power source.

How can you tell if the switch that you have is a 3 way or not?

You can tell if a switch is a 3-way switch by looking at how many terminals it has. A 3-way switch will have three terminals, including a common terminal and two traveler terminals. It is designed to control a light fixture from two separate locations.
