How To Switch Hot And Neutral Wires In Roof

The feed wire the hot wire coming from the service panel runs to the switch before it goes to the fixture.

How to switch hot and neutral wires in roof.

In basic installations you will only need to worry about connecting three wires. As mentioned above you will see many wires on the rear side of a motion sensor light switch. This one just demonstrates where the power is in a circuit and where you can have a hot neutral. The neutral wires are spliced and a black wire connects to each switch terminal.

This video is part of the heating and cooling series of trai. Connect the last switch in the usual manner looping the wire around the screw in a clockwise direction. The hot neutral and ground wires. Before doing so note that the mains lead is cut in two with one end being shorter than the other.

The hotwire the neutral wire and the ground wire. However you only need to use three in most applications. Now we shut off the light switch cut the neutral wire in two connect our meter to the ends of the cut wire turn the switch back on. Some of the wires are going to be directly joined together and the others put on the switch.

With power through wiring power enters the switch box. Two cables enter the switch box one supplying power and one going to the fixture. Now we are onto striping the wires soldering putting on the heatshrink and then wiring the switch. Instead of running a separate pigtail from the hot wire to each switch just leave the hot wire extra long.

The standard wiring configuration uses three cables or wires. The hot wire carries the power from your home s service panel to all of your light fixtures switches and outlets. To connect the switches simply score the wire with your wire stripper and push the insulation to expose about 3 4 in.
