Summary
| Description |
English: Diagram of the Carter wiring system for lighting a single lamp from two locations using two 3-way switches. This arrangement is no longer considered "code" because it sometimes leaves the socket electrically "hot" even when the light is turned off (i.e., risk of shock). Also, this solution results in reversed polarities of the two terminals on the lamp base and this is a serious problem for Edison screws. |
