Single Outlet
is it alright to replace a single receptacle outlet with a triplex one?
i have this “old style” single outlet in my room that i want to replace. it looks like this: http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r346/jpranojo/DSC00682.jpg . is it alright if i replace it with this: http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r346/jpranojo/DSC00804.jpg so i can use the outlet? or should i buy a single outlet too?
im currently in the philippines, where we use 220-250v range electricity and i dont know how that plug got there cuz this house is an old one…. so i guess this plug is for dryers and washing machines or ovens?
That should not be a problem, all the newer receptacles installed in the Philippines I have seen are like the the second picture with 3 on a strap, or regular duplex receptacles, same style as the US 120 volt ones .
I would be curious to know what is behind the old one there, and what size breaker was on that circuit, wonder why they had that style in there, maybe that was just what they had at the hardware store that day, sometimes when you run across that stuff you just shake your head, could be for any reason, hey maybe even was put in to make something work brought in from the US (240 volt) and they didn’t want to cut the cord to make it work, I have seen some unusual electrical things there….
Good luck…
Oh, and I love the thumbs down from the folks with no electrical knowledge what so ever, and have never spent time in the Philippines, very funny, of course it goes right along with some of the crazy ideas some have here about electricity
