24. A method for connecting a plurality of combinations of power entry wires to at least one electrical outlet, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a plurality of circuit selectors, each of said plurality of circuit selectors including an input and an output interconnected by a respective pre-wired circuit configuration;
using a selected first one of said circuit selectors to interconnect a respective selected first one of the combinations of power entry wires to the at least one electrical outlet; and
replacing said first circuit selector with a second said circuit selector to thereby interconnect a respective selected second one of the combinations of power entry wires to said at least one electrical outlet. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
identifying a desired one of the combinations of power entry wires that is to be interconnected to said at least one electrical outlet; and
ascertaining which of the circuit selectors is configured to interconnect said desired combination of power entry wires to said at least one electrical outlet, wherein said second circuit selector comprises said ascertained circuit selector.

26. The method of claim 25, comprising the further steps of:
-
providing a first harness to electrically interconnect said desired combination of power entry wires to said ascertained circuit selector; and
providing a second harness to electrically connect said ascertained circuit selector to said at least one electrical outlet, said second harness carrying fewer electrical conductors than said first harness.
-
-
27. The method of claim 26, comprising the further step of:
electrically interconnecting at least one line wire, at least one ground wire, and at least one neutral wire of said desired combination of power entry wires to said at least one electrical outlet via said ascertained circuit selector.
-
28. The method of claim 26, comprising the further step of:
electrically interconnecting at least two line wires, at least two ground wires, and at least two neutral wires of said desired combination of power entry wires to said at least one electrical outlet via said ascertained circuit selector.
-
29. The method of claim 28, wherein said at least one electrical outlet comprises a plurality of outlets, said method comprising the further step of:
electrically interconnecting at least a first one of said outlets to a first of said line wires, at least a second one of said outlets being electrically connected to a second of said line wires.
