3 Wire

3-wire control is a line-voltage phase-control dimming method that uses three wires: hot, neutral, and a third wire called dimmed hot. It allows dimmers to control the intensity of fluorescent ballasts by providing a phase-control signal on the dimmed hot wire. All ballasts on a single dimmed hot wire circuit will be controlled together. 3-wire control can be used for both basic applications with a single wallbox dimmer or complex applications connected to centralized control panels.

Control type: 3-wire

3-wire control is a line-voltage phase-control dimming method. Along with hot and neutral, the dimming signal is communicated via a third wire called dimmed hot. All three wires are rated Class 1 and can be run within the same conduit. Three-wire control is stable over long wire runs, allows for maximum circuit loading, and is very easy to wire. 3-Wire Basics 3-wire control is an analog control method that is primarily used to control Lutron fluorescent ballasts. It allows dimmers to set the intensity of ballasts by providing a linevoltage phase-control signal from the dimmer to the ballast on a dimmed hot wire. The dimmer separately switches the power to the ballast over a dimmed hot wire. All ballasts connected to a single dimmed hot wire must be on the same circuit and will be controlled together. The number of ballasts that can be connected to a single circuit is limited by the dimmer being used. Control Type Applications
