1. Turn off Power :
o Locate the circuit breaker for the area you will be working on and turn it off to
ensure safety.
2. Remove Existing Outlet :
o Remove the cover plate of the existing outlet using a screwdriver.
o Unscrew the outlet from the electrical box and carefully pull it out. 3. Disconnect Wires :
o Use a voltage tester to check that the outlet is not live.
o Take note of the wiring configuration. In most cases, you will see three wires:
▪ Active (Brown/Red) : Provides power to the outlet.
▪ Neutral (Blue or Black) : Completes the circuit.
▪ Earth (Green/Yellow) : Provides safety against electrical shock.
o Loosen the screws on the outlet and carefully remove the wires.
4. Prepare Wires :
o Using a wire stripper, remove about 1.5 cm (1⁄2 inch) of insulation from each wire, exposing the copper beneath.
5. Install the New Outlet :
o Attach the wires to the corresponding terminals on the new outlet:
▪ Active (Brown/Red) : Attach to the terminal marked L or Active.
▪ Neutral (Blue/Black) : Attach to the terminal marked N or Neutral.
▪ Earth (Green/Yellow): : Attach to the terminal marked E or Earth.
o Ensure the connections are tight and secure, with no exposed copper.
6. Secure the Outlet:
o Carefully push the outlet back into the electrical box.
o Secure the outlet with screws, ensuring it is properly aligned.
o Install the cover plate over the outlet.
7. Turn on Power and Test :
o Turn on the circuit breaker and use a voltage tester to confirm that the outlet is
working properly.
