When we flip switch2 electricity flow across switch2 through the light and back through neutral wire. If we power the circuit the electricity flow through the hot wire across switch1 through ceiling box to terminal switch2 but circuit is broken in switch2 the light is OFF. In a complete circuit we have a two wire cable in incoming supply in switch box 1 in between switch1 and switch2 the light fitting has three wire cables.

Connect ground terminal switch1 into the wired connector and run another ground wire from wired connector and bring this to wired connector in the ceiling box as the ceiling box is made of metal connect to ground. To make circuit safe we bring the ground wire to wired connector. The both ends of this wire insulate with black insulation tape to worn sleeves which indicates cable is live. Run the third white wire from the light fitting terminal and run this to the common terminal of switch2. Run another wire neutral wire from wired connector through ceiling box and connect to light fitting. Now bring the neutral wire from incoming supply to wire connector between switch box 1.

Run another red wire from wired connector to right traveler terminal of switch2. Then we run red traveler wire right traveler of switch1 connect this to wired connector of ceiling box.

We flip switch1 electricity flow across switch1 and to red traveler wire but it stop the switch2 as the tracks disconnected by flipping switch2 we again complete the circuit.Ĭircuit 2: light is fitted between switchesįor this circuit the following parts are required, they areĢ*3 way switches, 3 wire cable, 2 wire cable, 1 ceiling box,1 light fitting,1 lamp, 2 switch box, 5 wire connectors, electrical tape.įrom the incoming power supply connect the black hot wire common terminal switch1 then run the black traveler wire from left traveler switch1 take over to wired connector to ceiling box. When we flip switch2 the track change direction and electricity flows across swicth2 through the light and back along the neutral wire. The switch2 is the opposition circuit is broken and light is OFF. When we power the circuit the electricity comes from the hot wire and passes a switch1 along the black traveler wire to switch2.
