Connections Explained: Wiring Two-Way and Intermediate Switches (AM2, AM2S, AM2E) Assessment

In this video we look a method of wiring 2 way and intermediate switching of a lighting circuit when wired through the switch. Understanding this wiring could be useful when undertaking your end point assessment for AM2, AM2S or AM2E for apprentice electricians. In this system the neutral is taken through each of the switches meaning at all 3 switches you will have a connection for the neutral in the back box. This wiring should help you visualise the method of wiring 2 way and intermediate switches when using wired through the switch. I make off all the connections using feed through the switch method of wiring 2 way and intermediate switching. Care must be take to identify your conductors correctly in your switches and connect the neutral so it passes through each switch.

In your end point assessment you may NOT have access to the lighting wiring diagram once your assessment starts but you could be expected to wire it or draw it from memory.
