When I had a new breaker box put in, my stairs lights were glowing at night, told the electrician the next day, and he said oh, the old style. He flipped the neutral and hot wires, and took care of it. He said those old type, makes a difference which side gets hot, but didnt elaborate. Paul [Reply]   [No Email]

Each THROW wires to the other switches THROW (runners),,,One POLE wires to the branch circuits hot voltage SOURCE, The other POLE wires to the LOAD. Maybe there was an OLD way before I first learned how to wire them or different then single pole double throw switch use???? Fun chat, wish I knew an old versus a new way???

John T There is an old way. It was used to run a yard light on the pole between the house and barn. It used one less wire and powered from both the house and the barn. Not a very safe because if one was going to work on the light and turned off the power at one end he didn't realize it was still hot from the other end. I think is was called Chicago Loop. Not legal today. I can't quite remember how to wire one that way, and don't want to. Dusty This post was edited by Dusty MI at 15:55:38 02/06/13. [Reply]  [No Email]
