How to connect a plug to a switch?

Hello, what I am trying to do is of a box that has 1 plug and a switch (room light), place one with the plug and two switches to remove from that second switch cable for a second plug that can only use the switch It is on. I leave an image to graph the situation. I expanded a little on what I found when I opened the box and what I did:

Hi. The problem with what you need to do is that there is little load that you can place in the extra socket since these are only for lighting. If it is something "boy" what you will place there are no major problems. One of the cables of the new socket is connected only to the neutral (if you look at the back, mention this place with an N) The other cable of the new plug would go to one of the points or terminals of the new switch. The other point of the switch (the one that remains free) is connected to the phase. It can be on the same bridge you have now or directly to the existing socket phase. This way, when you turn on the new switch, it will turn on the load you put in the new socket. Regards

Thank you very much Servimat! I am going to try! It is not very large, it is a hot water pressure pump that is placed in the hot water tank, but I do not want to have it on always but only when one is going to bathe and that, but if I leave it plugged apart always to release that plug that is used continuously for other things. When I told you that one of the new cables was connected in the neutral from where? from the existing or neutral switch socket? Thank you!

Effectively. It is neutral from the existing outlet.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! In these days I am going to try, because obviously I had the problem in biasing both the phase and the neutral and I skipped the thermics when I activated the switch for the new outlet!

If you connect it as is sure there will be a short. I leave a modification of your diagram to make it work.

Remember that the earths (green wire) are connected and connected to the central terminal of the socket, not connected to phase and neutral as samples.

WHAT A TEACHER !!!! Thank you! Yes, I understand that the green is earth and goes to the central terminal, but that is how it was and since there are two extra cables in each terminal I do not know if it will actually be earth, that directly or touch it because it was working ! Thank you! Tomorrow I try this and comment but I remain very clear! I think it could be given as closed! I do that by editing title or does a moderator do it?

Hello I leave the diagram of how you should connect the new double socket. Keep in mind that this is an "aggregate" about an installation that did not contemplate this kind of thing, so the loads that you can connect are limited to medium / low consumption, no air conditioning or high consumption equipment such as kitchens or electric ovens . If in doubt, consult.

One comment, that's why I put it here hehehe: That connection is the so-called garland and is not allowed. Regards

Hi Ricardo, your comment is accurate, since 2006 in Argentina it is not regulatory. In my city, mixed circuits are equivalent to more than 90 percent of the existing ones, this is giving a great margin for doubt. As I do not belong to any controlling entity, less tax collector indicated to the consultant how it is done, I clarify the cargo issues since we do not know exactly the cable sections, but beyond that, no technical or safety fault is incurred , what concerns me is the important thing.

Ricardo, if I had to get to see what is in regulation to work, I would spend months doing nothing. The issue is security.

I understand you perfectly. It was very difficult for me to understand it, taking into account that a shoe does not cease to be a garland connection and yet they are approved. And if I'm not mistaken it was you or elektomaq who explained it beautifully. Regards

Many thanks!!!! I think it helps me a lot! Something was wrong. Now there is I see the wires cross! Or the diagram is for two new shots?

In the new sockets (two), these are inverted so the cables cross. Look closely at the drawing.

Thank you very much Nastor! You know that when I opened the box I found too many wires! There I put what I did but I skip the key I activate the switch!

Just a comment, friends, because they do not try to identify polarity in the wires, when identifying colors, there is no guarantee that it is the correct polarity, and more importantly, polarity, than color. It is to establish priorities, greetings, alualo.

Hi Alualo, that is what you should do, identify the living one; The colors are only to graph the work, difficult to be the ones you actually have. Regards

fercabe10, hello, the important thing is that you know what speed the cables have, independent of color, identifies, Phase, Neutral, and Physical Earth, only then, you can make the connections well, that indicate the friends present, greetings, alualo.

Hello thank you very much! Yes, I already did it and it was perfect! The issue of identifying polarity is complicated by neutral and earth, the living itself. Anyway it was perfect! Thank you very much to all!

The correct answer is from nastor; This is only a regulatory correction for comments to be understood. Greetings
