There are a few different reasons that an outlet breakaway tab may be removed. If one-half of a duplex outlet is controlled by a wall switch, then the hot tab, and possibly the neutral tab, will be broken off. Or if the top and bottom outlets of a duplex receptacle are powered by two different circuits, the hot tab and possibly the neutral tab will be removed. In any case, when you replace an old outlet, check to see whether the tabs are removed, and if so, break off the tabs on your new outlet to match. Grab the tab with the end of a pliers or your stripping tool and wiggle it up and down to break it off.

As a general rule, neutral (usually white) wires are not connected to switches. If two neutrals are present in the box, these wires typically are joined so that they continue through the box without touching the switch. Or you might see a single neutral wire passing through the box. Sometimes, however, you might see a white wire attached to the switch, and this is when it is functioning as a hot wire. In this case, the white wire should have a wrap of black tape on it near the switch terminal to indicate that the wire is operating as a hot wire and not a neutral wire.


I have a light switch (single pole) in my dining room that controls an outlet. I want to separate the switch from the outlet while still providing power to the outlet. The switch I would like to use to control new light fixture being installed in the room.


Lately I have had many site visitors asking me to write an article on how to wire a duplex switch and receptacle combination device. While the switch/receptacle combo device is not common in the home, they have several unique applications where they can be very useful!


The switch/receptacle combo device is set up like a duplex receptacle, but has a 15A single-pole switch in one half, and a single 15A, 125V receptacle in the other half. They can work in conjunction with one another, or they can be connected and used independent of each other.


In your garage or shop, you would like to install a task light, like a florescent light fixture over workbench. However, the walls are all finished so getting a new wire to a switch and then up to the light is not that simple. However, you have a receptacle just above the bench that you can get your power source from.


You can change this duplex receptacle to a switch/receptacle combination so that you still have power in the outlet, but can use the switch to control your new overhead task light. Fishing in a wire from the receptacle to the light fixture is fairly easy, so this is how you would wire the switch/receptacle combo device in this situation.


Just as the receptacle that you replaced will have the tab on the hot side removed, here we have to remove the tab on the device as well. This will put the light on a different circuit as the receptacle, but again will give you the desired result of a usable receptacle, and a switched light fixture without a difficult wiring renovation.
