regedit Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I guess they are available here but having trouble finding, particularly Bticino. Has anyone found them ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Also known as DPDT (double pole double throw) switch which come in several varieties. The "simple" one for lighting is difficult to find - but that's what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yes, sadly as common as hen's teeth. We finally gave up as intermediate (that's the UK terminology as used here) switches were unavailable in any of the switch series my good lady liked. Good luck getting a local sparks to wire it up even if you find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David006 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Curious? What is the application? Is it for control from two locations ie like upstairs/downstairs or double entry room? These only require DPST ie a change over. Available most electrics shops. I guess if you needed more than two control points you could maybe gang two DPSTs together with a neat bit of lexan glued on ?...would take a bit hen scratching to wire them though. Something Crossy could lay out for you methinks...lol Another option would be to use a mini relay ...yuk getting real messy....hugh! Good luck d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) A "4-way" switch is only used as an intermediary switch(s) between "3-way" switches (which are SPDT). Purpose is for 3 or more points to on/off the connected light(s). eg: two 3-way switches are required for 2 points to on/off the light. one or more 4-way switches in circuit are required to add a third or more point to on/off.

electau Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The standard switch SPST is generally single pole 1-C-2 these are used as 2 way switches also. Intermediate switches, (not often used) are when used for passageway lighting and stairwell lighting. The switching is 1-2, 3-4. and 1-3, 2-4. DPDT are switched 1-C-2 and 3-C-4 Ref. Clipsal 30, HPM 770 series 10A 250V. Try Clipsal Thailand. You will need the wall plate also. National may make them also as a rocker type switch.

electau Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A standard two way switch wiring is : Line (L) term C, a twin between 1 and 1 and 2 and 2 of the switches, terminal C of the second switch to the line side of the light fitting. If an intermediate switch(es) are to be added they are installed in the circuit betwen the first two switches, in the twin cable. Clipsal and HPM switch mechs.
