I recently took off a wall socket to find that there were two power cables wired into it. If I attach a new socket to just one of them it is live and I can use that socket, however the other wire isn't (so a socket attached to that one won't work)
Why does each socket appear to be dual wired?
Are these wires likely to be daisy chaining off to other sockets or something?
What I'm trying to work out is do I need to use this second why when I put on a new socket or can I leave it off or could I in fact use this second cable to put in a second socket further along the wall (they're dry wall so easy to pull cable through
thanks
