3 Way Switch

would a GFI or GFCI would work on a 3 way switch?

ohh okay okay okay O_O thx

how is this a 3way? are you counting the circuit breaker? cos thats dumb. in aus this is just a standard 2 way. we dont count the circuit breaker, because it isnt used in normal switching conditions.

it's a 3 way switch because it controls a load or more loads (lights), from several locations. normal switches are just from a single loacation to a single load. i think in US, our terminology is different then from Australia, thats probably why your confused.

Great Job, thanks

I'm an electrician in the US, and I'm not familiar with your terminology.
What's a cpc?

The wires in the video are on a 120v single phase to ground circuit... There's no phasing to color code!

By cores not doubled over, do you mean that the wire isn't properly wrapped around the screw? Because I couldn't see the screws well enough in the vid to verify this. I don't know how you could have.

By screw its, do you mean the terminal screws on the side of the switch? Post a pic of your switch.

Tim,
I'm having a problem completing my 3 way circuit, I was able to get my 4 wire from switch to switch and power to one of the switches but I'm unable to get power from the 2nd switch to my can lights. Is there another way to run 3 way from switch to 2 can lights to switch? Thanks,
JK

I can't tell what you're asking here. Are you asking if you can run your switch leg to your can light from the same switchbox that has the power cable in it? If so, then yes. But the wiring make up is obviously a little different.

I guess if you have really short arms and legs, you'd need to wire a three way switch that close together. Ha ha ha.

Uh, do you have any videos which discuss the black and white wire differences? I've basically done tons of home improvement stuff, but just copied what I saw in the outlet and took it from there. Also, do you have a video discussing adding a fresh line (to the garage toom) from the circuit breaker box? Thanks.

Thanks! Be sure to watch my 4-Way Switch video.
