How do one-way and two-way switches differ?
Switches are used to make or break an electric circuit manually or automatically. Switches work on ON/OFF mechanism. The most common switches are the ones we use to turn on and off out lights and fans. But many electronic appliances use switches too to control their operations. Many types of modular switches are available in the market based on their functions, built, styles, colors, etc. But we are more accustomed to the one-way and two-way switches. But how are they different? Here are the differences between these two commonly used modular switches. Understanding the one-way and two-way modular switches The types of switches depend on the circuit connections they make, commonly there are two of them – one way switch, 2 way switch . This is based on the two components – pole and throw. The number of circuits controlled by a switch is called poles while the number of positions a switch can take is called throws. One-way switches: One-way switches, also known as single pol
