Setting Up Wires for Switches in a 3 Gang Switch Box
Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money.
Residential New work 3 gang switch box wire setup
- Hot feed black wire is marked with colored tape (NOT white, grey, or green per code)
- All hot feed conductors are stripped extra long
- Make sure that the wiring for each switch postiion is located in the corresponding knockout in the box - don't zigzag or cross wires in the box if possible, it makes a mess.
Generally the first switch should be the main light, second switch the accessory lights, and third switch the ceiling fan.
- Start by routing all grounding conductors to a common location to be mechanically connected by twisting them in a clock-wise direction, then cutting and removing the excess and installing a green grounding wire nut with a hole in the top for passing the grounding pigtail. Keep twisting the wire nut until the grounding wires are well twisted.
- White conductors are not always neutral conductors - if they are not neutral they must be marked accordingly.
- Tuck the wires vertically into their corresponding switch positions and overlay the hot feed power line over the other conductors horizontally.
