Three-way switch wiring diagram with the LINE and the LOAD inside separate switch boxes. LINE power is delivered to the first switch by using a two conductor cable with a bare or green equipment grounding conductor. The LINE wire is connected to the "Common" terminal on the 3-way switch.

The black LOAD wire is connected to the "Common" switch terminal and the two white neutral wires are simply joined together with a wirenut.
