How do you wire 3 timers to one outlet using contactor?
A timer is a type of contactor. My answer assumes you do not need an additional contactor besides the timers and the timers are operated by the same circuit as the outlet. Each timer and the outlet need connections to the neutral and grounding conductors of the circuit. For the hot wires, you have to run your hot feed to each of the timers on the "line" side of the contacts. If the timer and the "line" side of the contacts are different connections you will have 2 connections in each timer. Then from the "load" side of the contacts you run wires that connect to the hot side of your outlet. At some point you will splice these together so you have only one hot wire connection to the outlet. Remember that timers, contactors, relays, etc., are simply switches operated by various means. You have the hot feed on one side and the "switch leg" to your load. You also have a control of some kind, and in your case your controls are the timers.

How do you change split outlet back to standard outlet?
On each side of new receptacle there is a tab between the screws that hold the wires. This tab is bent back and forth until it breaks off. (Usually on the Brass or hot side.) The receptacle is now split and can now be wired for two separate circuits or one outlet switched and the other not. Easy way is to strip the wire under 1 screw back till it will go under the other screw on the same side and tighten.
