Is The Midway Switch A Multi-control Switch? What Does A Multi-control Switch Do?

Most of the switches in life refer to electrical switches, which provide us with convenience in the use of electrical appliances, especially the use of lamps and lanterns. Generally, common switches are single-control switches, that is, a switch can only control one electrical appliance. In the middle of the switch, there are 4 insertion holes, and there is a central axis point in the middle, like a pressure plate. When the switch is pressed left and right, the cross and the contacts are interchanged. When wiring, 4 wires are required, and one is controlled by several switches. electrical appliances.

Is the midway switch a multi-control switch?

The halfway switch, also known as "halfway switch" and "two-way reversing switch", is composed of two single-pole double-to-switches, and the purpose is to realize on-off control in three or more positions.

In the middle of the switch, there are 4 insertion holes, and there is a central axis point in the middle, like a pressure plate. When the switch is pressed left and right, the cross and the contacts are interchanged. When wiring, 4 wires are required, and the two wires on the left are connected with A pair. The 1 and 3 plugs of the control switch are connected separately, and the other line of the A double control switch is connected to the L(+) of the power supply, that is, the zero plug. The two wires on the right are connected to the 1 and 3 sockets of the B double-control switch respectively, and the other wire is connected to the (+) of the lamp wire.

What does a multi-control switch do?

In villas, split-level and other large-area room types, or in some public places, there may be an electrical appliance (commonly a lighting appliance) that needs to be controlled on and off at three or more locations. The midway switch is designed to meet this need. To control one electrical appliance with three positions, two dual-control switches and one midway switch are required; for four positions to control one electrical appliance, two dual-control switches and two midway switches are required; for five positions to control one electrical appliance, two dual-controllers are required. Switch plus three midway switches, and so on. In terms of wire arrangement, it is the same as the double-control cable. Just pay attention to the two dual-control switches are installed at the front and rear ends of the double-wire, and the mid-way switch can be installed in the middle (the mid-way switch can be installed in the middle to achieve two commutation of wires).

What is the difference between a multi-switch and a multi-control switch?

1. Multi-open switch

The multi-switch is mentioned above, that is, there are several switch buttons in a switch panel, only one button is a single switch, and multiple buttons are multi-switches. And the more the number of more open, the more buttons, the smaller each button, it is suitable for small spaces or densely lighted places.

2. Multi-control switch

The multi-control switch generally has multiple switch panels, that is, a switch button on multiple switch panels can control the same electrical appliance, or there can be switches with 3 or more grounds, which can control a light at the same time. When using a multi-control switch, it is safer to use it with two dual-control switches.
