How do you install multiple GFCI receptacles?
A GFCI receptacle can extend its protection to regular receptacles connected to the output side of the GFCI. Each actual GFCI receptacle should be directly connected to a breaker in electric panel.
Is it necessary to ground an outlet?
If the receptacle has a ground terminal (green screw) and has three prongs, you must connect a ground wire if it is a new installation. There is one exception to this: if the three prong receptacle is fed from the LOAD side of a GFCI receptacle, it is not required to have a grounding conductor. This is because the receptacle is considered to be protected by the GFCI's function. In addition the GFCI itself is not required to have a ground connected. In these cases the receptacle needs to be labeled "no equipment ground" on the wallplate. If this is existing, you are usually not required to correct things that were not originally done to code. However a three prong receptacle should not be used as such if it does not have a grounding conductor connected. This would lead to a false sense of grounding and safety.
When wiring a kitchen stove must the ground wire be grounded?
Absolutely. You need the range ground to be fully connected back to the panel ground buss bar.
Can you add a receptacle to an end of run switch?
No, the neutral conductor will not be in that box. The white wire in the end of run will be the return "hot" leg back to the light fixture. When wired this white conductor should have had a black tape marker put on it to signify that it was not a neutral conductor. That same conductor should also have had a black marker placed on the end in the fixture's junction box.
How do you wire a switch receptical outlet with no other fixture.?
The wording of your question is a bit difficult to understand. I'm not sure what you mean by a "switch recepticle outlet." If you mean a switch/receptacle combination device, and you want the switch to operate the receptacle, first you must remove the brass bar that connects the two brass screw terminals. This can be easily done with any set of pliers small enough to get hold of the bar. By moving it back and forth a few times it will simply come off. Next connect your green or bare wire to the ground screw of the device. Then connect your neutral coming into the box to the nickle (or silver) screw terminal next to the receptacle. Then connect a black wire (or any color wire other than white, gray, green, or orange) from the switch leg terminal of the switch (most likely a black screw) to the brass terminal of the receptacle. Make this wire long enough to work with. There is no reason to make it so short you can't work with it if trouble shooting is ever necessary. And finally connect your hot wire coming into the box to the brass terminal on the switch. If all this makes absolutely no sense to you, find a competent electrician to do it for you. We do these kinds of things in our sleep. (Just kidding, of course.)

EXPLAIN WHAT WIRES DO IN A RECEPTACLE?
Wires bring the voltage source to the junction box of the receptacle. At this point they are terminated under the screws of the receptacle. With the receptacle screwed to the junction box and the cover plate installed the outlet is ready to be used. The last thing to do is turn the breaker back on to energize the receptacle.
What is use of neutral in a wall receptacle?
The neutral in a receptacle is the return conductor to complete the circuit back to the distribution panel. When a device is plugged into the receptacle this completes the circuit and allows the current to flow and the device to operate.
Why do the electrical outlets in your kitchen not work when you unplug your refrigerator?
Shut the power off and remove the fridge receptacle. Look in the junction box to see if there is a loose connection in the back of the box. The rest of the kitchen could be wired from a three wire that has the fridge on one half of the circuit and the rest of the kitchen on the other half of the three wire circuit. The neutral would be the wire to check as it is common to both circuits.

What is a back kitchen?

Is positioning the ground blade in the up position the correct way to install a three holed duplex receptacle by the electrical code?
There is no mention in the CEC as to which way a receptacle is to be positioned. The most common way is to have the ground pin in the down position. This way, if something drops on the plug (cap) when it is in the receptacle, the last pin to disconnect will be the ground pin. Some manufactures of appliances have 90 degree plugs (caps) installed on their equipment to present a low profile when in the receptacle. The ground pin in these types of caps is positioned to the top and the hot and neutral blades are below it. On connections like this the receptacle is mounted with the ground up to allow the appliance cord to drop down when it is plugged in. Still other applications will find the receptacle mounted sideways, usually in the back splash of kitchen counters when there is an absence of space to mount them vertically.
What markings are on outlets for aluminum wiring?
Check on the back of the receptacle. There should be a symbol Cu/Al. This means that the receptacle is approved for both copper and aluminium conductors to be used on it. If it does not have the Al symbol on the back it means that this devices is not approved for use with aluminium conductors.
