electrics in series and in parallel how?

How are 230V electrical sockets connected in practice: in series or in parallel?

230V sockets are connected in parallel, not in series. Serial connection of socket outlets does not exist; all sockets in a circuit are always parallel [#15849531] The two pictured arrangements are both parallel connections [#15849506][#15849471] In so-called boxless installations, branching is done with connectors placed at the bottom of the socket box instead of upper junction boxes, and using socket terminals for branching is discouraged [#15849506] A series connection would effectively open the circuit [#15849524]

    Hello, I am a beginner, I would like to ask you to explain to me the topic of serial and parallel connection of 230V electrical sockets.
    This is Serial?
    electrics in series and in parallel how?
    and IS THIS PARALLEL?
    electrics in series and in parallel how?

    Sockets are not connected in series, at most through.

    And who asked you such a topic? Serial connection makes sense with resistors. Nobody connects sockets in this way in practice. :cry:

    How can no one connect sockets this way? :D

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    So how? :)

    Both pictures presented by you are a parallel connection of sockets (maybe except for the last kind of socket from the first picture)

    Only and exclusively in parallel.

    Both pictures in # 1 are parallel connections.

    What you are asking about concerns the so-called can and boxless installations.
    A boxless installation is one in which there are no upper junction boxes, but this function is performed by deep boxes in which the sockets are mounted.
    Branches are made with connectors placed at the bottom of the box, although some bunglers use socket clamps for this.

    PS. The most important wire is missing from both pictures.

    So what would a serial connection look like? ) someone will give you a schematic ;)

    Series-connected sockets will open the circuit. As if you drew a dotted line.

    Sockets are not connected in series.

    Serial connection of the socket outlets does not exist.
    All sockets (in the circuit) are connected in parallel.
    Always.
    I close the topic.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion centers around the connection of 230V electrical sockets, specifically distinguishing between series and parallel configurations. Participants clarify that sockets are not connected in series; instead, they are always connected in parallel. The initial images provided by the user were confirmed to depict parallel connections, with some noting that series connections would disrupt the circuit. The conversation emphasizes that all socket installations should be parallel, and mentions the concept of boxless installations where deep boxes serve as junctions for connections.
