How To Switch Hot And Neutral Wires In Roof

Connect the last switch in the usual manner looping the wire around the screw in a clockwise direction.

How to switch hot and neutral wires in roof.

As mentioned above you will see many wires on the rear side of a motion sensor light switch. With power through wiring power enters the switch box. In basic installations you will only need to worry about connecting three wires. Two cables enter the switch box one supplying power and one going to the fixture.

This video is part of the heating and cooling series of trai. The standard wiring configuration uses three cables or wires. 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. Before doing so note that the mains lead is cut in two with one end being shorter than the other.

Instead of running a separate pigtail from the hot wire to each switch just leave the hot wire extra long. Each plays an important role in getting electricity where it needs to go safely. Now we are onto striping the wires soldering putting on the heatshrink and then wiring the switch. The hot neutral and ground wires.

Some of the wires are going to be directly joined together and the others put on the switch. 110v on a runner hot wire goes into a switch then out to a light socket then through the lamp out the neutral side of the socket on the wire back to the neutral bus. The hotwire the neutral wire and the ground wire. To connect the switches simply score the wire with your wire stripper and push the insulation to expose about 3 4 in.

This one just demonstrates where the power is in a circuit and where you can have a hot neutral. However you only need to use three in most applications. The feed wire the hot wire coming from the service panel runs to the switch before it goes to the fixture.
