[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 81735, member: 2683"] 1) normally found on corridoors, with multiple door entries. All switches outside hotel door ways will be intermediate switching. This is the single most common use for intermediate switching. 2) Neutrals terminated at any switch can and often are mistaken for a switched live (without sleeving to denote live). Also if connected would complete a closed circuit between nuetral and live. Connection by deliberate or accidental/fault could cause an explosive reaction and damage the cable beyond reasonable repair. During dead testing you would notice a continuity between nuetral and live. You would also record a fault with insulation testing between nuetral and live. All these faults would be recorded and found during initial testing on a dead circuit before energizing. [/QUOTE]
