Junction Boxes

This section describes how to use junction boxes.

warning

These junction boxes are used to connect device loops. They are connection points for wires only and do not have any associated loads. If you need to create and circuit a junction box that has a load and is not connected to other devices, model it using either a receptacle or an equipment connection.

Junction boxes are never connected directly to a circuit. Any circuit they are connected to is based upon the devices that are connected to the junction box itself.
