Saw some mistakes, but you should number them so we can comment on them individually.

#3, there is no black passing through the switch box.

#13 white (blue) should pass through the first 3way, and use red and black as travellers, white stops at the light and travellers pass through to other 3way on white and red, then SL comes back on black.

#14 white goes to the lights, black goes to one of the 3ways, then goes to the other 3way on travellers (red and white), then comes back to the lights on switch leg of black.

Oh my goodness thank you so much, number 3 was just a small mistake on my part but 13 and 14 I really needed some help. thanks a lot.

No prob, guys might find some other things. I find it hard to look at those one after another.. don't think I can be a teacher.

Also I was going to say something about #6, better to pigtail to the receptacle, but it's probably legal to do that. We call that an Alberta splice here in BC. :laughing:

in 17 you are switching neutrals
in 3way or 4way red and black are your carriers blue or white used as common needs to be marked with a strip of black tape at the ends (or in your drawing with a black dot)(at least it was when i first schooled on it):laughing:

I was just told to cross hatch the conductors to indicate that.

Neutral is blue right? I don't see any blue getting switched in #17.

must be my comp. i dont see any numbers and too tired to count

 

[Ursa_Major]

Neutral is blue right? I don't see any blue getting switched in #17.

Im not really following, I thought I did 17 correctly?

Looks good to me, I was just responding to:

[Ursa_Major]

15 and 17 are basically the same thing, just 17 has an extra 4 way switch, I thought they were suppose to be done the same way, not sure why I would switch the neutral.. :/

 

[FrunkSlammer]

Don't switch neutrals. One day you'll discover how bad it is to lose the neutral on some circuits.

 

[Ursa_Major]

Thanks for all the help friends, I passed my final test and all is well!

 

[FrunkSlammer]

Good job, one day you'll be surprised you had any trouble with those.
