240V multiple-switch

[David Williams]

-> Anyway. There are 5 connectors that are marked P-L-1-P-2
-> Both P's are always used. When I turn the switch, the following
-> configuratins take place:

-> 1. P - 1 - 2 (low setting)
-> 2. P - L - 2 (medium setting)
-> 3. P - L - 1 - 2 (max setting)


-> What baffels me, is that both P and 2 are always used.

-> Does anyone here know the inner workings of this kind of switches?
-> Have tried searching for this, but dont know what they are called.

-> --
-> SEE YA !!!
-> Trygve Lillefosse

Are there words in Norwegian that start with the letters P and L and
which mean relevant things, such as Live, Neutral, etc.?

I am realy unsure about this. Only thing I can think of is Passive and
Live. This is a switch from the 50's and there may be several
standards.

Nowdays they would have been marked with N(eutral) and L(ive). With
different phases L1-L2 etc. is used.

Silly question: Have you taken the switch out and taken it to your local
electrical supply store to see if they can give you some input/test the
switch?

No. I want to know what to expect before i take it out.

Also, I am not going to exchange it for a similar one, but for a
different setup.

I'd assume that a shop could explain to you what the wiring is and the
proper way to have a different setup.
