Should neutral wire of lamp be connected to the 3amp or the 6 amp side of a canopy switch?
You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.
Why is it always connected in the phase or line wire to the switch and not the neutral wire?
The switch is connected to the phase or line wire rather than the neutral wire for safety reasons. By cutting off the phase wire, the switch can effectively control the flow of electricity to the device, whereas cutting off the neutral wire could still leave the device energized and pose a potential shock hazard.
Where does the neutral wire go on a single pole switch?
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
Which is the safest position for the switch to turn an appliance on and off?
the safest position for a switch is on the live wire and not on the neutral wire
Why neutral wire doesn't give electric shock?
The neutral wire doesn't give an electric shock because it is the same potential as ground. That being said if you come in contact with the "hot" wire and the neutral or ground wire, you become the load and will receive a substantial shock.

How can I install a light switch without a neutral wire?
To install a light switch without a neutral wire, you can use a switch that does not require a neutral connection, such as a mechanical switch or a wireless smart switch. These types of switches do not need a neutral wire to function properly. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when installing the switch to ensure it is done safely and correctly.
How can I install a light switch that does not require a neutral wire?
To install a light switch that does not require a neutral wire, you can use a switch that is designed to work without one, such as a wireless or battery-powered switch. These switches use alternative methods to power the switch and control the light without needing a neutral wire. Simply follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation to set up the switch without the need for a neutral wire.
Why is the switch for an appliance always placed in the live wire?
If a switch was on the neutral wire the live wire would still be at the mains potential even when the switch was off. This would cause on en electric shock when one handles any conductor linked to the live wire

How to wire multiple lights to one switch?
To wire multiple lights to one switch, you can connect the lights in parallel by running a cable from the switch to each light fixture. Make sure to connect the hot wire from the switch to the hot wire of each light, and the neutral wire from the switch to the neutral wire of each light. This will allow you to control all the lights with a single switch.
Why does a photocell switch have a neutral wire?
The neutral is needed for the internal sensing electronics inside of the photo cell switch.
How to wire a switch leg correctly?
To wire a switch leg correctly, connect the hot wire to the common terminal of the switch, the switched hot wire to the other terminal, and the neutral wire to the neutral terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow the wiring diagram for your specific switch.
Which is the safest position for the switch to turn an appliance on and off?
