The Process for removing the tab link from the outlet This series of electrical wiring pictures shows how the actual wiring is attached using the top wiring diagram scenario #1 where the power enters at the switch box and a 3-wire romex runs from the switch box down to the grounded wall ...
The diagram below shows the power entering the circuit at the grounded outlet box location, then sending power up to the switch and a switched leg back down to the outlet. Notice that these outlets have the tab removed from the "hot" side or Brass side of the outlet which allows the top...
Start by wiring the first receptacle to the live circuit cable. Pull the cable through a hole in the back of the electrical box, separate the wires and strip an inch of insulation off the end of each one. Attach the black wire to the bottom brass lug on the outlet. Connect the white ...
When there's only one cable entering an outlet box, it means the outlet is the last fixture on the circuit. Power comes from the service panel along the black (hot) wire through other outlets, switches and light fixtures on the circuit and begins its return to the source through the whit...

I will show youhow to wire a 2-Way Switchorhow to wire a 3-Way Switchor even how to wire an Outlet, but also teach you a little bit of theory on how the circuit is controlled. So if you are a little green but yet a do-it-yourselfer, ...
When wiring a 2-way switch circuit, all your really doing is controlling the power flow (Switching off/on) to theload(a light, lamp, outlet, ceiling fan etc..). Now a typical circuit will contain a3-wire cableknown as romex. The cable consist of a black wire, a white wire and a ...
The ground wire is already bare but I'll need to remove insulation from the black, red, and white conductors before they can be connected to a device or to a splice. Excerpting from HOW to CONNECT WIRES to a RECEPTACLE or SWITCH Above I'm showing the wire strip-back gauge area marked...
