How do you wire dedicated circuits and test for that?

To wire dedicated circuits, you need to route a separate cable from the electrical panel to the specific outlet or appliance you want to power. You then connect the cable to a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel. To test if the circuit is dedicated, turn off the breaker and check if the outlet or appliance loses power. If other devices also lose power, then the circuit is not dedicated.
