ristlülitil

Ristlüliti, also known as a two-way switch or hotel switch, is an electrical component used in household wiring. It allows for control of a light fixture or other electrical device from two different locations. This is achieved by connecting two ristlülitid in series with the power source and the light. Each ristlüliti has three terminals: one common terminal and two switched terminals. When the switch is toggled, it connects the common terminal to one of the switched terminals. By arranging two such switches in the circuit, the path of electricity to the light can be interrupted or completed from either switch independently. This setup is commonly found in stairwells, long hallways, or rooms with multiple entrances, where it is convenient to turn a light on or off from either end. The wiring configuration requires careful attention to ensure proper operation and safety. Incorrect wiring can lead to the light not functioning, or in some cases, creating a short circuit. Understanding the internal mechanism of the ristlüliti, which typically involves a set of internal contacts that are moved by a lever or toggle, is key to its installation and troubleshooting.
