This layout is for a 40- or 50 A, 120/240 V dedicated appliance circuit wired with 8/3 or 6/3 cable
15.240VBaseboardheaters,thermostat
240V Baseboard heaters, thermostat
This layout is typical for a series of 240 V baseboard heaters controlled by a wall thermostat. Except for the last
heater in the circuit, all heaters are wired as shown below. The last heater is connected to only one cable.
The sizes of the circuit and cables are determined by finding the total wattage of all heaters.
Requires two-wire cable.

Ganged single-pole switches controlling separate light fixtures
This layout lets you place two switches controlled by the same 120 V circuit in one double-gang electrical box.
A single-feed cable provides power to both switches. A similar layout with two feed cables can be used to place

Ganged switches controlling a light fixture and a vent fan
This layout lets you place two switches controlled by the same 120 V circuit in one double-gang electrical box.
A single-feed cable provides power to both switches.
A standard switch controls the light fixture, and a time-delay switch controls the vent fan.
This layout lets you place two switches controlled by the same 120 V circuit in one double-gang electrical
box
