intermediate switch

[Rockomuir]

Hello there,

been to a job today where the customer has a fault with an intermediate switch. Instead of being an inter switch it looks like it has been wired incorrectly with the intermediate switch acting as a two way for the other two switches. Also at the intermediate switch the feed for the lights goes to this switch instead of the first switch of the intermediate.

What i wont to ask is that is it possible to take the lighting feed to the intermediate switch and still be able to get a working intermediate switch.

many thanks

There are 37 combinations with 5 switches, 33554454 with 24 switches. I'm not drawing them all out to prove it to you!

This works for all combinations ie 8 switch combinations per diagram (2 to the power of 3 per diagram)



It may not suit peoples conventions but it works
