Question 1

What is the MK 10A 3-Gang 2-Way Switch and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

The MK 10A 3-Gang 2-Way Switch is a three-gang electrical switch plate that lets you control up to three lighting circuits or appliances from a single plate. It is designed for 2-way wiring, so you can use it in multi-location lighting setups, and it is rated for up to 10 A per switch.

Question 2

What are the key specifications and features of this switch?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: 10 A rating per switch, 3-gang, 2-way switching, includes necessary install hardware, easy to install, durable design, and finishes/colors to match your decor. It also includes built-in overload protection to trip if the current exceeds the rated limit.

Question 3

How do I install the MK 10A 3-Gang 2-Way Switch?

Accepted Answer

Turn off mains power. Remove the existing switch plate, disconnect wires, and note which wires connect to each terminal. Mount the 3-gang switch onto a standard backbox, connect the live and load wires to the corresponding terminals for each gang, and secure with screws. Fit the faceplate and restore power, then test each circuit.

Question 4

What does 2-Way switching mean on a 3-Gang plate and how is it wired?

Accepted Answer

2-way switching means each gang can be wired to operate with two switches (for example, a light can be turned on/off from two different locations). Each gang has two terminals for the two-way circuit plus a common live input. Follow the standard 2-way wiring diagram for each gang from the installation guide.

Question 5

Can I use LED lights with this 10 A 3-Gang switch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 10 A rating applies to each gang, so you can run LED lighting within the total current limit. Ensure the combined load on each gang does not exceed 10 A and follow proper wiring practices.

You’ll typically pay a bit more for the extra gang. See the 2-Gang product page for exact specs and pricing: https://fepy.com/product/mk-10a-2-gang-2-way-switch

Question 11

How does the MK 10A 3-Gang 2-Way Switch compare to a Legrand 3-Gang 2-Way 10A switch on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Both switches serve the same function, but finishes, build feel, and price may vary. If you’re choosing between them, consider the available color/finish and the overall look you want. See the Legrand listing for details: https://fepy.com/product/legrand-3-gang-2-way-switch-10a

Question 12

What should I consider when deciding between 3-Gang vs other configurations and load needs?

Accepted Answer

Choose a 3-Gang plate when you need control over three circuits from one plate. If you require more control points, a 4-Gang or larger plate may be better. Also ensure the total current drawn by connected loads stays within each switch’s 10 A rating. Plan two-way wiring correctly for each gang if used.
