Hello,
I work in a facility with a lot of 3-phase parking lot lights. These lights are controlled by a number of photocells that close lighting contactors near the service panel. My problem is that these photocells are very difficult to access due to their location, so covering the photo cells to check the lighting is a pain. I would like to add a switch near the contactors to allow me to bypass the photo cell and energize the the contactor coil. Is this possible with a 3-way switch and does anyone have experience that can give me an idea on the circuit connections?
