i want to add another wall socket in my room. already got 1 socket in the room and i want to add another one beside it
what i want to know is whether can i just connect another wire from the old socket to my new socket?

why not, most double socket in the wall also come from 1 set of wire..

really?
the actual way to do it is have to connect the wire all the way from the box there right?

if that is high current socket like heater/AC/washing machine probably.. but if just normal appliance.. why not?
lucifah mintak your input..

lick the cable to check or energized or not

Get electrician.

yes, for light duty appliances only, charger, laptop/pc etc..
not recommended for heater/air cond/electeic kettle/ oven/ microwave/

kk thanks!

one 1 socket only no need electrician la lol..even if call electrician they also might do the same thing

sure can. just a 4 sockets extension better. as long as total loading less than 13ampere

If you got wirings, open exisiting cover and follow.

You need to hack/drill also anyway.

Just let them do for RM30.

Wiring need to buy calculate based on per meter.

can. no prob. loop as many you want or need. you've seen people use 4-gangs extension wire no problem one rite? same theory

washing machine is not high current one

heater perhaps

AC only when the compressor is starting, the amp will spike for a while

no need hack la. just buy a surface mounted box and drill it into the wall

rm30? LOL. materials alone will cost half of that liao. they'll charge you rm 80 if they are kind.

lol whr got so cheap? last time i remember i extend socket also rm140 for 2..but quite far la, around 3 meters away, but he also use same wire only i think
i just attach the socket beside the existing socket,wiring 1 meter is more than enuf dy right? XD

u didnt learn anything from Kemahiran Hidup?

so is no problem la? is that how all the extensions work? the one like dis


kh where got these things

Ya,,,, my electrical engineer fren said they only teach this in B.Eng level

haiya. actually wall socket all come from 1 wire. i usually extend my home's wall sockets by myself. quite easy actually.

those direct to fuse box pon ada org buat. more for safety reasons. and more applicable for appliances that need more fuse amp like aircond, water heaters etc.

oh btw, make sure to buy good 100% copper wires. not those salut copper only.

same analogy with how a kancil and a merc works

both brings you from point A to point B

but one is safer than the other
