Split receptacles
Split receptacle installations can be found in kitchen counter receptacles. These types of receptacles are fed with a #14 three wire from a two pole 15 amp breaker. The top part of the duplex receptacle is isolated from the bottom half of the duplex receptacle by removing the brass coloured tie bar that joins the two halves together. The top part of the receptacle is fed with a full 15 amp capacity by using the black and white wires of the three wire cable and the bottom half is fed with a full 15 amp capacity by using the red and the same white wire of the three wire cable. This allows two appliances to be plugged in to the same receptacle.
SAFETY ADVICE
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

How many all electric homes can be powered by a 20KW generator?
Do the math: Amps x Volts = Watts. Your house is mostly 120V and each circuit is usually 15amps (not counting large appliances).
60Hz is equal to how many amps?
The two are unrelated. HZ refers to the rate at which the electrical current cycles between positive and negative. Amps refers to the capacity for work that is available from a specific circuit.
