Connecting 10/3 stranded cable to a duplex receptacle is a common task for electricians. It involves connecting the individual conductors of the cable to the appropriate terminals on the receptacle, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.
To begin, strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of each conductor. Then, identify the black, white, and green conductors. The black and white conductors are the line conductors, while the green conductor is the ground conductor. Connect the black conductor to the brass terminal on the receptacle, the white conductor to the silver terminal, and the green conductor to the green terminal.
