The Yanks always have to go one better - A 3 way switch.

Why is this guy doing demos at mains voltage????

I will test you all later on terminology and terminations!!

Very similar to our two way switches.

Exactly the same.... lol

And just in case anyone is confused here's a 4 way setup

And it turns out 3 way is so called because there are 3 terminals on the switch, not because it can switch from 3 different points.

And you guessed, a 4 way has 4 terminals and can switch from 3 ways to (n) ways.

Geez where do they get these people ?, Maybe the reason he's doing it live is because he's a Carpenter & doesn't know any better
That was pretty tame though, have you seen some of the Yank videos on testing / repairing Microwaves ? Now those really are scary

Those switches don't look very installer friendly.

Come to the conclusion the USA is a dangerous place to live!

 

[D00DY_T00DY]

Come to the conclusion the USA is a dangerous place to live!

Electrically or in general
More chance of being shot than electrocuted

 

[Deleted member 26818]

400 deaths from electrical fires per year.

400 deaths from electrical fires per year.

1/10th the amount of firearms deaths in 2016

Very similar to our two way switches.

In the US, they call 2 way, 3 way and 3 way (intermediate), 4 way.
