Errata for this article
Correction for page 112
On page 112 of MAKE Volume 05 ("How to Build a Power Tap"), we ran an illustration that could cause some confusion as well as a tripped circuit breaker.
PLEASE DO NOT BUILD THE POWER TAP AS SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATION.
The illustration shows a dual plug receptacle, which, when wired improperly, can cause a short circuit. Do not attach the wires from the extension cord to the screws on the same side of the receptacle, because it will create a short circuit.
Here is a corrected PDF for that page.
The PDF is designed so you can paste it right over page 112 in MAKE 05.

- Romex is NOT suitable for extention cords.

Sorry guys, but type NM cable (Romex) is the wrong cable to use for extention cords, and the use of it in this application is a violation of the NEC.
Instead, you should use a real extention cord, or some type SJ or SJT cable.Posted by tantivy on May 08, 2006 at 05:00:27 Pacific Time
