In Reply to: RE: Best way to wire multiple add on duplex outlets? posted by LKDog on June 7, 2007 at 22:12:06:
Star wiring is simply to run a separate wire from each outlet to a common point and join them all together at that point.
The best star wiring approach would be to run a separate circuit to each outlet. The wires are then joined together at the circuit breaker panel. If this is impractical, then running separate wires from each outlet into a junction box would be the next best approach. However, joining eight wires properly might require specialized tools.
The daisy-chain approach causes the power for the downstream outlet to pass into and out of each of the wiring points on the outlets ahead of it. Each junction has the possibility of adding noise and allowing power current drawn through the outlet to affect the downstream outlets.
You might be better off making a power box and feeding it from a plug.
