How do you wire two outlets together when you want to continue the run to another outlet?

To wire two outlets together and continue the run to another outlet, you can connect the incoming hot wire to the brass-colored terminal on the first outlet, then connect a short jumper wire from the first outlet's silver-colored terminal to the brass-colored terminal on the second outlet. Finally, connect the incoming neutral wire to the silver-colored terminal on the first outlet and repeat the process for subsequent outlets in the circuit.


How do you wire 15amp 230v woodworking machine. 10agw or 12agw wire and type of outlet. Into a 15amp or 20amp breaker?

For a 15 amp 230V woodworking machine, you should use at least 10 AWG wire to handle the current. You can wire it into a 15 amp breaker with a suitable outlet, like a NEMA 6-15. However, if your woodworking machine has start-up surges or is a larger machine, you may want to consider using a 20 amp breaker and wire with 12 AWG to handle the load more comfortably.


Can you wire a switch downstream from an outlet?

Yes, you can wire a switch downstream from an outlet by connecting the switch to the hot wire (black) from the outlet. The hot wire would then be interrupted by the switch before continuing to the outlet, allowing you to control the power to the outlet with the switch. Always ensure to turn off the power before working on any electrical components.
