Learn the difference between 1way vs 2way switches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Knowing the different elements that make up an electrical installation is essential when undertaking any repair. <\/span>For this reason, we are going to explain to you what bipolar and unipolar switches are and how they work.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What are\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>the switches<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

A switch is a device that is designed to stop the flow of current through an electrical circuit. <\/span>When you install any of them, you will find many types like bipolar and unipolar. <\/span>For operation, they both use a switch that is used to turn the circuit on and off, but they have differences regarding the number of cables they need to connect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What do the keys do in the house?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although there are many types, it is generally used in the home to turn on and off the light. <\/span>The two-pole switch is used, in some cases, to energize household appliances connected to the electrical network, such as electric water heaters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What are 1way switches?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

1way switches are electrical mechanisms that, in home lighting, adopt two modes: on and off. <\/span>In one of the two positions it allows current to pass and in the other it cuts off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The peculiarity of this mechanism lies in the fact that it cuts only one of the two cables that are needed to install, for example, a light bulb. <\/span>It is the cable that is popularly called neutral.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What are 2way switches?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

It is an electrical mechanism, although it can do the same function as a conventional 1way switch, this device has the peculiarity that it uses two cables to cut the current, the phase and the neutral.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Voltage enters our home through 3 cables, one being the phase (brown or black), one being the neutral (blue), and finally the ground connection (yellow-green). <\/span>The most dangerous phase is: it is the one that puts the voltage in our house (220 volts), and therefore it is the one that can electrocute us. <\/span>The neutral is the cable through which the voltage returns, without it there is no current, but in and of itself it is not dangerous. <\/span>The earth connection does not carry any kind of voltage and is for safety.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, diodes are those that are able to control, by means of a switch, two electrical circuits, with these switches you can interrupt and resume, that is, turn on and off the light with a single lever.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In homes they are the most used on and off electrical item. <\/span>It is used for electrical appliances in which it is necessary or important to cut off the flow of the two wires of the installation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2way switches are the safest and most practical. <\/span>Bipolar switches are safety elements for electrical installations that can prevent more than one switch. <\/span>The column is used to indicate the number of circuits controlled by the same switch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the home, although it can be used as a conventional switch, it is usually used in situations where it is important to completely cut off the supply. <\/span>Some examples would be:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
