开关插座手册

If you’re running out of outlets to plug things into, installing a switch/outlet combo is a great way to squeeze in another receptacle without completely wiring in a new outlet or sacrificing existing outlets or switches.
如果您没有足够的电源插座来插东西,则安装开关/插座组合是挤入另一个插座的好方法,而无需完全在新的插座中布线或牺牲现有的插座或开关。
A switch/outlet combo like the one pictured above can be wired up in three ways. The switch can control your lights, the switch can control the outlet, or the switch can control both your lights and the outlet.
如上图所示,开关/插座组合可以通过三种方式进行接线。 开关可以控制您的灯,开关可以控制插座,或者开关可以控制灯和插座。
For example: say your countertop appliances are hogging all of the outlets in your kitchen. You could replace the light switch on the wall with a switch/outlet combo. You’d still have the switch to control the lights, but you now have an extra outlet that you can use for that fancy new blender you bought.
例如:假设您的厨房用具正在占用厨房中的所有插座。 您可以用开关/插座组合替换墙上的电灯开关。 您仍然可以使用开关来控制灯光,但是现在您有了一个额外的电源插座,可以将其用于购买的精美新型搅拌机。
You can also wire it up so that the switch controls the outlet and the light it’s connected to, which may be useful if you have a lamp plugged into the outlet.
您也可以将其连接起来,以便开关控制插座和所连接的灯,如果您将灯插入插座,这可能会很有用。
Lastly, you could have the switch control just the outlet and nothing else. This isn’t as common of a scenario around the house, but it could work great out in the garage or workshop if you want an independent receptacle that can easily be turned on and off at will. For example, my shop vac is tucked away under by workbench, so I have one of these switches to easily turn it on and off without reaching under the bench every time.
最后,您可以让开关只控制电源插座,而不能控制其他任何东西。 这在房屋周围情况中并不常见,但是如果您想要一个可以随意随意打开和关闭的独立插座,则可以在车库或车间内正常工作。 例如,我的商店vac藏在工作台下面,因此我可以使用其中一个开关轻松打开和关闭它,而不必每次都在工作台下。
In short: there are quite a few ways to wire it up, and we’ll show you how to do all of them below.
简而言之:有很多方法可以将其连接起来,下面我们将向您展示如何进行所有这些操作。
Warning: This is a project for a confident DIYer. There’s no shame in getting someone else to do the actual wiring for you if you lack the skill or knowledge to do so. If you read the beginning of this article and immediately visualized how to do it based on past experience wiring switches and outlets, you’re probably good. If you opened the article not sure how exactly we were going to pull this trick off, it’s time to call in that wiring-savvy friend or electrician. Also note that it may be against the law, code, or regulations to do this without a permit, or it might void your insurance or warranty. Check your local regulations before continuing.
警告:这是一个充满信心的DIYer的项目。 如果您缺乏其他技能或知识,请别人帮您完成实际接线并没有什么可耻的。 如果您阅读本文的开头并根据过去对开关和插座的接线经验,立即看到了如何做,那可能很好。 如果您不确定这篇文章的开头,不确定我们将如何实现这个技巧,那么该找这个精通布线的朋友或电工了。 另请注意,未经许可执行此操作可能违反法律,法规或法规,否则可能会使您的保险或保修无效。 在继续之前,请先检查您当地的法规。
你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)

Before you dive deep into this project, you’ll need a few tools and supplies to get the job done.
在深入研究该项目之前,您需要一些工具和用品才能完成工作。
The absolute must-have tools are a flat-head screwdriver and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Some optional—but very handy—tools include needle-nose pliers, combination pliers, a wire stripper (in case you need to cut wire or strip off wire insulation), a voltage tester, and a power drill.
绝对必备的工具是一字螺丝刀和一字十字螺丝刀。 一些可选的但非常方便的工具包括尖嘴钳,组合钳,剥线钳(以防您需要切断电线或剥去电线绝缘层),电压测试仪和电钻。
Lastly, you’ll need a switch/outlet combo unit. They’re not as ubiquitous as regular light switches and outlets, but you can still usually find them at most hardware stores. This one from Leviton ($9) will get the job done in most cases, but I’m using this heavy-duty one from Eaton, which is more appropriate for workshops and such. Don’t forget the new faceplate either.
最后,您将需要一个开关/插座组合单元。 它们不像常规的电灯开关和插座那样普遍存在,但是您通常仍可以在大多数五金店中找到它们。
