Electrical Outlet Diagram. This diagram shows the wiring for multiple receptacles in an arrangement that connects each individually to the source. A grounded contact at the bottom center is crescent shaped.
Understanding switched outlet wiring for home electrical applications the switched outlet wiring configurations show two different wiring scenarios which are most commonly used. All wires are spliced to a pigtail which is connected to each device separate from all the others in the row. To wire multiple outlets follow the circuit diagrams posted in this article.
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.
The long slot on the left is the neutral contact and the short slot is the hot contact.
