2 Way Wiring Switch Diagram

2 Way Wiring Switch Diagram. This configuration requires you to connect two switches to one outlet This method is commonly used nowadays as it is efficient than the Two-Wire control system

The first way of wiring uses a couple of Two-Way Light Switches with a three wire control (3 Wire Control) To understand the situation I will modify fig-4 slightly

- Turning a light on and off from 2 different locations requires a 2-way switching circuit You can observe in the schematic that both the COM terminals are connected together. This configuration requires you to connect two switches to one outlet

. To switch from two locations you'll need 2 two way switches and wire them together in a particular way The basic wiring diagram for a two-way switch looks like this:

. Notice the black wire is the only wire that we are controlling through the 2-way switch This method is commonly used nowadays as it is efficient than the Two-Wire control system
