In this video, Mark Donovan of HomeAdditionPlus.com,
shows how to wire a switch outlet combo circuit so that the outlet is
constantly powered on.
A combo switch outlet circuit is frequently used in
bathrooms and utility rooms. Besides having the switch control both
an external appliance and the outlet, the combo switch outlet can be
configured so that the switch only controls the external appliance.
By breaking the brass tab between the two terminal screws on the combo
switch outlet, you can effectively wire two independent circuits. One
circuit powers just the switch, and the second circuit constantly powers
the outlet.
After watching this video you should be able to wire
your own switch outlet combo circuit.
