Residential New work 3 gang switch box wire setup
Hot feed black wire is marked with colored tape (NOT white, grey, or green per code)
All hot feed conductors are stripped extra long
Make sure that the wiring for each switch postiion is located in the corresponding knockout in the box - don't zigzag or cross wires in the box if possible, it makes a mess.
Generally the first switch should be the main light, second switch the accessory lights, and third switch the ceiling fan.
Start by routing all grounding conductors to a common location to be mechanically connected by twisting them in a clock-wise direction, then cutting and removing the excess and installing a green grounding wire nut with a hole in the top for passing the grounding pigtail. Keep twisting the wire nut until the grounding wires are well twisted.
White conductors are not always neutral conductors - if they are not neutral they must be marked accordingly.
Tuck the wires vertically into their corresponding switch positions and overlay the hot feed power line over the other conductors horizontally.
