Electrical - 3-way, Power on Traveler

Jan 16, 2007 2 Replies

Have a 3w switch and am trying to locate it's use. Did a quick check of some lights, outlets/split outlets. Lots more trial & error to cover.



Is this any indication of what configuration I am looking for?


- White on common (dark terminal and verified it's common with wires off and a meter).



- Black (hot) on traveler - same physical side as common.



- Red on traveler (opposite side of common and other traveler).



Removing the wires from the switch and all open, black is hot, white & red cold.



Thanks, Al



If I understand your question you have a 3 way and you don't know what it is for.

Leave it disconnected and find what is not working.

That's where I'm at with it now Terry. Thanks for responding.
