single-pole switch: connect the electricity to one of the two terminals and the devices to the other terminal. For hallways and staircases, 3-way switches are indicated, while areas with multiple entrances need 4-way mechanisms, and 240V devices need double-pole switches.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Way Is On and Off?<\/h2>\n<p>In a paddle switch, there is a standard that is written on the paddle: &#8216;I&#8217; means ON and &#8216;O&#8217; means OFF (IEC 60417 power symbols). If you press the &#8220;I&#8221; side of the switch down, it would turn ON; if you press the &#8220;O&#8221; side down it will turn OFF.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Interpreting the paddles without any labels, the side that is pressed down indicates the ON position: if the bottom of the paddle is pressed down, the switch is ON.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to paddles with printed markings, there can also be illuminated paddles with a white light that indicates the ON and OFF state of the paddle. In this case, there can be some neon lights that turn ON when the paddle is OFF, so it is very important to check the label.<\/li>\n<li>It is important to note that you must never follow assumptions when dealing with a switch without any label. It is advisable to check the condition of the lamp or the meter and disconnect the power supply before working on the paddle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple trick to remember: thanks to the way the letters look like, you will be able to quickly remember that &#8216;I&#8217; refers to a closed electrical circuit, while &#8216;O&#8217; means an open loop.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Wire a Paddle Switch<\/h2>\n<p>Wiring a regular single-pole paddle switch is a simple procedure but ensure safety measures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, disconnect power at the breaker and ensure it is turned off using a voltage tester before doing anything.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the line run from the power source and the load run going to the light.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the line wire to one brass terminal and the load wire to the other terminal respectively. The wiring does not matter in the case of a SPST paddle switch since the wiring is symmetrical.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the ground wire to the green screw.<\/li>\n<li>Screw tight, put wires in the box, and install the switch to the plate.<\/li>\n<li>In case of a 3-way paddle, the common wire should connect to the COM terminal and the other two traveler wires go to L1 and L2 respectively. Make sure you connect exactly the same as the old switch before changing it. (It is advisable to click a picture of the previous wiring for reference.) In case of a smart paddle, you will need a neutral wire going to the switch box, a deeper back box, and smart paddle app for installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For readers from the UK\/EU: the logic is the same but the colors are different where brown is live, blue is neutral (when switched live), and yellow-green is earth (COM=L1=L2).<\/p>\n<h2>Is a Paddle Switch a Deadman Switch?<\/h2>\n<p>No, a paddle switch is not the same as a deadman switch. Both of these switches have &#8220;switch&#8221; in their names which is a point of confusion for many people. However, they are fundamentally different.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\u0425\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430<\/th>\n<th>Paddle Switch<\/th>\n<th>Deadman Switch<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u0422\u0438\u043f<\/td>\n<td>Latching (maintained)<\/td>\n<td>Momentary (spring-return)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>State<\/td>\n<td>Stays on\/off until pressed again<\/td>\n<td>Active only while pressed\/held<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Typical use<\/td>\n<td>Lights, appliances, wall control<\/td>\n<td>Safety interlocks, machinery (lawnmower handle, saws), winch controls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Safety function<\/td>\n<td>None inherent<\/td>\n<td>Stops the machine when the operator lets go<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>A deadman switch functions as a safety gadget that is intended to fail in a safe way: when the operator stops doing what he or she was doing, the device comes to a halt too.

Press the paddle in one direction to turn the light on and in the opposite direction to turn it off. A paddle switch has a locking mechanism that keeps it in position until it is pressed again. Paddle switches can be made into timers, dimmers, motion detectors, and other smart switches.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the differences between a toggle switch and a paddle switch?<\/h3>\n<p>The primary distinction is the interface: a toggle has a tiny knob that can be moved vertically, whereas a paddle has a wide horizontal surface that rocks backward and forward. Operability of paddles is much higher than that of toggles because paddles can be operated with palm, elbow or knee; also, they have a more modern look and correspond to rectangular decorative switch plates meanwhile toggles have a well-known mechanism and a physical toggle movement. The internal workings of both types of switches are the same: same contacts and circuit type. Paddles are widely used in newly-built houses; switches are still used for renovation.<\/p>\n<h3>How does a paddle switch work?<\/h3>\n<p>In the same way that a seesaw operates, a paddle switch operates; applying force to one of the ends rock the paddle about its central pivot point, making a contact arm containing a spring press against the contact terminal, thus closing the circuit. By pushing the other side, the contact moves away from the terminal and the circuit is opened. A detent spring secures the paddle in place.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a paddle switch a deadman switch?<\/h3>\n<p>A paddle switch is a switch that can be latched into the &#8220;on&#8221; or &#8220;off&#8221; position \u2014 it will remain there until repressed. The deadman switch is a momentary switch with spring mechanism, which is in the &#8220;active&#8221; position only when an operator pushes it \u2014 immediately stopping the machine when left to go (for example, operator of the mower or winch). Even though the function of &#8220;switch&#8221; is the same in both cases, the implications of their application are quite different.<\/p>\n<h2>\u0421\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u0438<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/codes-and-standards\/nfpa-70-standard-development\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFPA 70 \u2014 \u041d\u0430\u0446\u0438\u043e\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u044d\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0445\u043d\u0438\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043a\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441 (NEC), \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u044f 404 \u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ul.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UL \u2014 UL 61058 Switches for Appliances \/ UL 20 General-Use Switches<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 60669 \u2014 Switches for Household and Similar Fixed Electrical Installations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leviton.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leviton \u2014 Decora Paddle Switch Product Line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lutron.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lutron \u2014 Paddle Dimmer and Smart Switch Products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.gov\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ADA \u2014 Operable Controls Guidance (Rocker\/Paddle Accessibility)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>\u0417\u0430\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/h2>\n<p>The paddle switch serves as the advanced version of the wall switch: a broad rectangular lever that pivots to either stop or complete the circuit through a spring-operated contact. Once it\u2019s pressed, it locks up and stays in place\u2014one press is for turning on, another press for turning off. It is very convenient compared to toggles since they look cleaner when mounted on decorative wall plates, and the switches are available at many types of circuits and differ from the switches that just come with dimmers, motion sensors, and smart designs. The paddle switch is completely different from the deadman switch. The wiring of a simple single-pole paddle switch takes a little amount of time, but when buying the switch, you should pay attention to its certification, silver contacts, and positive stop.For the wider family of switch types and the wiring logic behind them, our guides to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gog-elec.com\/ru\/blog\/what-are-the-four-types-of-light-switches\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u0442\u0438\u043f\u0430 \u0441\u0432\u0435\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0445 \u0432\u044b\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0439<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gog-elec.com\/ru\/blog\/how-to-replace-a-light-switch\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u0437\u0430\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0435 \u0432\u044b\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044f \u0441\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0430<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gog-elec.com\/ru\/blog\/neutral-vs-non-neutral-smart-switches\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">smart switch wiring requirements<\/a> cover everything else you&#8217;ll meet at the wall box.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you enter a modern home, you will notice a design structure made of a rectangular shape that operates on rocking of the switch.
