I've seen two flags on this one, is it really that bad of an answer? It's not good, but he seems to be saying that older homes didn't have a grounding rod requirement so adding grounding rods may fix a problem from getting an electric shock from the screw on your light switch.
that age home probably does not have ground rods. those days grounds and neutrals tied together in main panel. ccode says two 8' less than ten feet apart tied together then connected to ground strap (existing or added) in main panel. then if need be
separate neutral and grounds in panel. doing al...
I am replacing a wall outlet with a Cooper Wiring USB outlet (TR7745). The new outlet has 3 wires coming out of it--a black, a white, and a green. Each one needs to be attached with a wire nut to the appropriate wires. The trouble is that there are 5 wires (2 white, 2 black, a a ground). My f...
I have the exact same light problem for my swimming pool made by Pentair Water. They won't sell me just the transformer. Any answers to where I can purchase one?

@BMitch there is a reason I had not migrated it, I did not think you would do the outlet one honestly, but that gives me a better idea of your limits. :)
would the load side to the other outlets be considered a branch circuit?
I'm being quite picky here but "Disconnecting these from each other breaks the circuit, resulting in no power to the other devices in the room." Since the power is run in parallel it does only break the circuit after that connection, I know that is mentioned but it was confusing to me to read. Had to reread the entire sentence to make sense of it.
@Jason I don't think that's a branch circuit, 1 in and 1 out would be a normal wiring for anywhere by the end of a circuit. You'd need 1 in and 2 out for a branch. Unless my understanding is wrong.
@Jason I'm often confusing in what I write, far too scatter brained these days.
I modified the comment to be a little more clear, I think.
@Jason The whole thing is a branch circuit. The branch circuit begins at the final overcurrent device, and ends at each outlet (outlet as in a point where power can be taken, not outlet as in a synonym for receptacle).
