About the Wires
Wire Nuts
• These cap-like objects, also known as twist-on wire
connectors, connect wires together.
Traveler
• These wires connect the 2 light switches together and
allow power to pass between them. 1 of the 2 wires
always carries current when the power is on. All 3-way
switches have 2 traveler wires.
Line (“Live”)
• Switch A: This wire carries power into the circuit from
the main service panel. This is the source of power for
your light and will always carry current, regardless of
how the light switches are congured.
• Switch B: This wire carries power from the light
switches to the light xture. This wire will only carry
current when the light is on. All light switches have a
live wire.
CAUTION:
• Never twine the traveler wire and the live wire together or
connect them both to the power line.
• Never connect the neutral wire with any other wire.
