This diagram shows a staircase wiring circuit, a smart setup that allows you to control a single light from two different switches — one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. It’s widely used in homes, apartments, and corridors for convenience and safety.
Key Components:
- Two 2-way Switches: Enable control of the same bulb from two locations.
- Bulb: The load connected to the switches.
- Phase (P) and Neutral (N) wires: Supply the electrical power.
- Return wire: Connects between the switches to complete the circuit.
Working Principle:
When either switch is toggled, the circuit changes path, turning the bulb ON or OFF regardless of the other switch’s position. This makes it perfect for staircases, hallways, or rooms with dual entry points.
⚡ Tip: Always use proper insulation and check switch terminals before connection to ensure safety.
