Emergency Ballast and three way switching

[Davew101]

Can anyone explain how to wire an emergency fluorescent ballast in a 3-way circuit ?

I apologize if this comes across kind of wise but you wire it just the same as you would for a single pole with the addition of three or four way switches.

The fact that it is an emergency ballast does not change how 3 and 4 ways would be added.

You will need a constant hot at the ballast but that applies with single poles just the same as three ways.


What is the exact issue?

Yeah, but it needs to be the same constant hot circuit that the light is on.
