In a home or office, the most common use of a one way switch can be seen in your light switches.
Yes.
One 3-way dimmer switch, one regular 3-way switch and one 4-way switch. The 4-way is wired between the two pairs of travelers from the other two switches. The common on the dimmer is tied to either the light or to the branch hot and the common on the other 3-way is tied to whichever is left (hot or the light).
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.
You don't. You use a pair of two-way switches ('three-way switches' in US/Canada).
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".
A common use - would be to use one printer with four computers. Each computer has a data cable leading to the 4-way switch - and the switch has one data cable leading to the printer. Each user turns the switch to the relevant position in order to use the printer.
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.
YES
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.
heres a example: i was tormented by my brother or my cat or just switch the last word
USE THE 'ODD' COLORED SCREW---THE 'LIKE' COLORED SCREWS ARE USED FOR THE 'SWITCH LEGS' OR 'TRAVELERS'.
A "one way switch" or better known as a single pole switch is simply a device that breaks the electrical circuit to a device. ie; A single pole light switch is used to turn off and on lights from one location.
Yes.
One 3-way dimmer switch, one regular 3-way switch and one 4-way switch. The 4-way is wired between the two pairs of travelers from the other two switches. The common on the dimmer is tied to either the light or to the branch hot and the common on the other 3-way is tied to whichever is left (hot or the light).
You cannot wire a single pole switch and 3 way switch together.
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.
Yes. You could use a 6-way (or larger) KVM switch. KVM stands for Keyboard, Video, Mouse. This allows you to switch between multiple servers using only one keyboard, one mouse, and one monitor.
