How do you connect a one way switch and switch socket outlet?
To connect a one-way switch and a switch socket outlet, first ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker. Connect the live wire from the power source to one terminal of the switch, and then connect the other terminal of the switch to the live terminal of the socket outlet. The neutral wire should be connected directly from the power source to the neutral terminal of the socket outlet. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated before restoring power.
How do you know which outlet is controlled by a switch?
Plug a lamp into a working socket of an outlet to ensure the lamp works. Then turn off the switch and plug lamp into all outlet sockets, top and bottom outlets until the lamp doesn't light. Then turn on the switch and the lamp should light. Often a switch in a bedroom is only connected to one socket in a duplex outlet. It is possible to remove a jumper in an outlet to isolate the sockets for just this purpose. Often an electrician will install the outlet upside down (The third prong pointing up, to identify the outlet.
How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.

What is 13A switch socket outlet?
A '13-A socket outlet' is the popular name for the standard electrical socket used in the UK and other various other countries under the British sphere of influence such as the Arab Gulf countries.The term derives from the fact that the socket is designed to take fused plugs which are rated at 13-A which, with a nominal voltage of 230 V, supply loads up to 3 kW. In the UK, these sockets are connected using a ring main system, rather than a radial system used in most other countries.
Do you get charged for having a socket outlet switched on?
In order to be billed for electricity, you have to have a flow of current. your electric meter is not unlike your water meter in this regard, it measures flow rate through it. An outlet that is not plugged in to anything that is on, or an empty socket that normally holds a bulb will not pass current. That means they are technically off. All a switch does is open an electrical circuit. To close a socket circuit you need a bulb. To close an outlet circuit, you need an appliance that is on (another switch may be involved).

How do you wire a remote switch to a socket outlet with no switch?
You must route a wire 12/2 or 14/2 to the receptacle from the switch in order for the switch to break the circuit. Always switch the black wire at the receptacle, not the white (neutral). As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
