Best Answer

The distance between electrical outlets in a home will depend on what country of origin you're from and also what type of power supply service you have. In the United States and Canada, that run on a 60 hertz power supply service, the general rule of thumb is spacing of about 12 feet between each outlet along the walls of your home. The distance between outlets around your kitchen counters is much shorter. About 4 feet of space is required between each plug.
