What Is a Receptacle Wiring Diagram?
A receptacle wiring diagram is a drawing which graphically illustrates the layout of an electrical receptacle, also known as a power outlet. As with other wiring diagrams, the goal of a receptacle wiring diagram is to show how the circuit should be laid out. Diagrams for basic receptacles are free on many websites which cover electricity and wiring topics, and people can also draw out their own if they have experience with wiring.
