3way&single pole single throw switch to light schematics

I found one!

GARDNER BENDER Toggle Switch, 20A 125VAC, On/Off, ...

Home Depot https://www.homedepot.ca > ... > Light Switches

The Gardner Bender 20/10 Amp Toggle Switch features spade terminals and on-off single-pole, single-throw circuitry. This switch fits standard 1/2 in.

..

Most large suppliers of spares to the electronics; repair/manufacturing/R & D/constructor sort of people will stock a wide range of switches of all types including toggle switches of traditional design though there is far more to a switch than how it looks.

Basically, there are a few basic variants of two types - single pole or double pole each with an internal design that provides a simple on-off, on-off-on, changeover, spring return and so forth. Catalogues generally use a simplified description, eg., spst (single pole single throw), dpdt (double pole double throw), etc.

We cannot see the product you are asking about
Example single throw switch is household light switch ..., flip the switch either direction and load turns on-off.
Example double pole switch is 240 volt double breaker... flip the breaker and two wires turn on-off.
Example triple pole switch is any 3 phase contactor or 3 phase timer ... flip the switch and three wires turn on-off

need the drawings?

The tab will snap off by grabbing it with needle node pliers. the tab is for a common feed to both the 3way and single pole switches.

DISCLAIMER:Attempting to work on house electrical systems without proper training is DANGEROUS and you stand the risk of dying.


The Cooper 7729w is a three pole single throw switch with a common (connected) hot wire that supplies it. What you had before was two separate single pole single throw switches and one single pole double throw switch that is used as a three way. The short answer is NO that replacement will not work UNLESS you don't want the other switch on the other side of the room to work.


Personally, I think that if you really need to ask this question you need to seek the advice of a professional electrician.

Following link has illustrations for 120Volt single-pole, 3-way and 4-way wiring

Look at images, and then add a comment for more information if needed.

T103M is 120Volt timer that can handle all the Christmas lights.
Minimum on-off time 1 hour.
Rotate dial until current time lines up with silver pointer.
Set on-off trippers on dial.
Let's go step by step.

1) T103 has terminals A 1 2 3 4 >> terminals are also called poles
DPST (double pole single throw) and SPST (single pole single throw) are two different ways to wire this particular timer.
T103 timer can be wired numerous ways... but your project is not complicated.
DPST means timer turns off two terminals/poles (double pole) with each click/throw of timer switch (single throw)
SPST means timer turns off one terminal/pole (single pole) with each click/throw of timer switch (single throw)

2) T103 timer is ST single throw, all the lights come on at same time. So this timer is 1 channel.
1 channel timers are either ON or OFF and everything turns on-off at same time.
You cannot stagger on-off times with 1 channel timer.
If you want upstairs and downstairs lights to come ON at different times, you need two timers .. or a 2-channel timer (which is different ballgame).

3) T103 timer has 120Volt clock motor that is connected to terminals A and 1.
Look at timer and you can see small white wires connected to A and 1 terminals that power 125V clock motor.
When wiring this timer, your wires from 20 amp breaker box connect to terminals A and 1.
Black hot wire from breaker must connect to terminal 1
White neutral wire from neutral busbar must connect to terminal A

http://waterheatertimer.org/B220C.html

4) Terminal 1 must be hot so when timer switch clicks ON, it sends power to terminal 2.
Your load wires connect to terminals A and 2
I made simple drawing of SPST option showing how to wire T103 to 3 receptacles.
Fixya downgrades image so it's hard to see.
Hot wire to terminal 1
Load wire to terminal 2
Neutrals on terminal A

If you want to wire timer for DPST, which is necessary for loads exceeding 2 horsepower (1500 Watts) on each terminal
Notice black jumper wire from terminal 1 to terminal 3
Notice all white neutral wires to terminal A

I made third image for guy who was wiring high amperage blowers, that show wiring for two T103 timers. Having two timers would let upstairs and downstairs lights come on at different times.

I dont think I have ever seen a failed clock motor in this device.

Has it worked in the past? It coult be the clock has failed.

You do have a white and a black in the cabinet to run the clock, right? (the models of this switch I am gamiliar with always have 110 VAC clocks in them)(yours could be different) So, while you have a double pole switch (220 VAC) you still need a neutral to run the clock.

Please double check the schematic on the door and make sure you did what it said.

Thanks for using FixYa.com

NO! Use a switch rated higher in amps and equal to or higher in voltage relative to the breaker rating. Use a 40 or 60 amp switch rated a minimum 220 volts.
