Basic wiring is easy to understand once you have a good overall look at the system that gets the power from the utility supply lines, through the transformer, and into your home to power our modern conveniences that we have become so accustomed to.  The most basic wiring system found in the home is the circuits that feed the outlets such as receptacles, switches, and lights.  When we have a grasp of the entire system, it makes all of the basic wiring principles within the home much less mysterious and intimidating.

The first and most important thing to consider when working with electricity is your personal safety, and the safety of others.  Always ensure that the power is off before working on any basic wiring system.  Use a device designed to check for the presence of voltage such as a digital voltmeter, a neon tester, a plug tester, or any suitable method to confirm that the power is off.
