Wiring Circuit 2way Switch Wiring. It is a standard single pole switch with three terminals. The three terminals are usually named com l1 and l2 but sometimes com 1 way and 2 way are also used.
The cable consist of a black wire a white wire and a bare copper wire. The wire connection is completed inside the switch electrical box. The power white wire does not connect to the switch at all but is connected to the white wire of the 14 3 cable.
This is the new method to make a 2 way switch connection and it is slightly different from the two wire control method.
So now that you have a basic concept of wiring a 2 way switch let s look at the following 2 way switch diagrams to see which type of circuit scenario you have. Pin1 of both the switches are connected with the phase or live wire and pin2 of both the switches are connected with the one end of the lamp. The wire connection is completed inside the switch electrical box. As you can see in the schematic diagram of 2 way switch circuit below the common of both the switches are short circuited.
