3 way gang circuit

[kippa]

I am re wiring a 3 way gang to 3 spot lights and the wiring was already disconnected. i need to know which cable where and also which cable to which cable into a 4 way junction box.

Hi Kippa.

I think we might need a little more info maybe !

Number of cables etc , and where the cables are run 'from' and 'to', and more about the 'joint box' may be a start.

Cheers


Ed

ps Do you have a multimeter ?

Hi Ed,

I have supply into 4 way junction box, from here i have 3 spots individual wired, two wires to the 3 way gang switch + one other to a single switch, which if need i can isolate. All cables are twin and earth. All need to go through junction box, no multi meter with me but cables can be traced under the flooring.

Kippa,
So you will have 1 x feed to the switch, and the remaining 3 conductors are your 3 x 'switch lines' (which will connect to your lights), also picking the neutral up at the 'jb', along with connecting all the earths up too. (everywhere) !!

Check out the wikki thing, there are diagrams there.


(Hope this helps, and make sure circ is dead b4 working ).
