When regular two core is used for the run to the switch, the white should be sleeved black to indicate that it is also hot.įor this, the white in the three core is used to take the feed down to the two switches, and the red and black carry the two switched feeds back, these would then be connected to the live feeds into the fan (they're usually black and blue, and should have tags indicating which is which). With a single load, typically a further two core would be used to carry the live out to the switch and back, by wire-nutting the two together (or using a spare terminal on the light fixture, and thw switched return and the white neutral would then go to the light.
WIRING A CEILING FAN WITH LIGHT WITH TWO SWITCH PLUS
The two core plus ground is the incoming feed to the light fixture. The question is what wires from the ceiling box are hooked to what wires on the ceiling fan? The new fan has four wires and I know that the blue is the light: The bottom switch has a set of wires coming in from the top that are: White - Hooked to White on top AND to top of switch.White - Hooked to White on bottom AND to top of switch.The top has a set of wires coming into the switch box on the top and bottom: The top switch controls the fan and the bottom switch controls the lights. There are two separate light switches (they are not side-by-side as you'd expect, but are top and bottom and are about six inches or so apart. I also tested them flipping the switches.

So I have two sets of wires coming into the ceiling box. I am sure that electrical standards vary place to place I am in the United States specifically Michigan. I know I screwed up, but now it is a learning opportunity. I messed up and forgot to take a picture of the wiring. So I am replacing my bedroom ceiling fan.
