www.electrical-online.com Have you ever wondered how kitchen split receptacle circuits work? In this video, Terry Peterman the Internet Electrician, responds to a question from a website visitor regarding this common home wiring scenario.
You just have to put the wires going to the dining room outlets on the LINE side of the GFCI. The way it is hooked up now the dining room outlets are wired on the LOAD side so when the GFCI trips the dining outlets go out too. By switching the wires to the LINE side the dining room outlets with stay on 100% of the time even if the GFCI trips.
Terry, speaking of Kitchens.. I replaced some old kitchen counter receps, with GFCI's, but I found out that the other recepts in the same path or stream also connects to the other non gfci recepts in the dining area.. is that normal? is there a way to split the line so that the other dining room recepts are always on, instead of being dependent on the GFCI to be "on"
