Common Questions

How do you install an electrical socket?

Installing a replacement electrical socket is simple. Install a replacement electrical socket by turning off the main power. Prepare the cables, strip the wires, and attach the Pigtail wires. Then connect the ground wire, and attach the neutral and hot wires to the receptacle. After attach the receptacle to the box and add cover plate over the electrical socket.

What is the line and the load in an outlet?

The line of an outlet is for the incoming power supply. The wires coming from an electrical panel should be connected to the line of the outlet. The load of an outlet is for power that is going out of the outlet. If you are installing other outlets, the other electrical wires should be connected to the load side of the outlet.

How do you tell if an electrical socket has power?

When you can’t tell if an electrical socket has power first try to plug in something else to see if the outlet works. If the electrical socket does not power anything it most likely has no power and its voltage should be tested with a multimeter. If no other electrical sockets are working it is most likely a problem with the circuit.
