Wiring Diagram For Outlet. In the diagram below a 2 wire nm cable supplies line voltage from the electrical panel to the first receptacle outlet box. This is a standard 15 amp 120 volt wall receptacle outlet wiring diagram. Each outlet is independent of each others as they are wired to separate cables.
The wiring diagram above shows how switched outlets are often wired. Don t use this receptacle when no ground wire is available. This diagram shows the wiring for multiple receptacles in an arrangement that connects each individually to the source. Switched outlet wiring diagram depicts the electrical power from the circuit breaker panel entering the switched electrical receptacle outlet box where a two wire cable goes to the switch and another two wire cable feeds power to another outlet that is live at all times.
See actual switch box wiring diagram.
Wiring diagram for multiple outlets. Each outlet is independent of each others as they are wired to separate cables. The black wire line and white neutral connect to the receptacle terminals and another 2 wire nm that travels to the next receptacle. This wiring allows for source voltage at each outlet independent of the others in the circuit. This repeats until the end of the chain.
