   It is important to note, that the wires should be made up under a wire-nut and have a 6 inch pig-tail attached of the same wire size and color. The wire should then terminate on the appropriate wire terminal. In this video Oscar is feeding the down-line circuit through the outlet. If the circuit is 20 amps and the outlet is rated 15 amps it is then possible to overload the the bridge bus on the outlet. If you have 10 outlets in a circuit on a 20 amp breaker.
