The most common light switch is the single pole light switch. Viewed 4k times 5. In the state shown in the above image the light is off. I am replacing a light switch and found three black wires going to it. Two way light switch mechanism a two way switch has three terminals its a little more complicated any useful than it s one way cousin. But when it s off position 2 the current is diverted from the l1 to the l2 terminal. To turn off the light you can toggle. The l1 terminals of both the switches are connected to line or phase or live of the ac supply. You should only have two wires connected to the main switch terminals. When it s on position 1 the com terminal is connected to the l1 terminal.
Two go to the screw terminals and one goes to the push terminal.
If either of the switches is toggled the light turns on. I am replacing a light switch and found three black wires going to it. You should only have two wires connected to the main switch terminals. If you only have one cable in the device box then the switch outlet is likely wired as a switch leg drop. The most common light switch is the single pole light switch. The l2 terminals of both the switches are connected to one terminal of the light bulb while the other terminal of the light bulb is connected to neutral of the ac power supply.

One being a white wire identified by black tape or marked with a black felt pen to one terminal and one black wire connected to the other. To turn off the light you can toggle. When it s on position 1 the com terminal is connected to the l1 terminal. The l1 terminals of both the switches are connected to line or phase or live of the ac supply. The l2 terminals of both the switches are connected to one terminal of the light bulb while the other terminal of the light bulb is connected to neutral of the ac power supply.
One being a white wire identified by black tape or marked with a black felt pen to one terminal and one black wire connected to the other. In the state shown in the above image the light is off. If either of the switches is toggled the light turns on. I verified with a multimeter that the central and bottom terminals are always live and the top terminal is live if the switch is in the up on. When it s on position 1 the com terminal is connected to the l1 terminal. Active 1 year 6 months ago. The most common light switch is the single pole light switch.
