Jon is an experienced electrician and taught me (Charlie) how to do a wiring installation of a junction box that ensures safety as well as allow for full access to all receptacles. He taught me how to properly splice wires together using wire nuts to ensure that they are securely locked.
The picture above shows the junction box located on the top left of the frame (ideally much higher) to prevent tampering. A portion of the wires here have been spliced together by myself with the guidance of Jon.
The picture above is the junction box completed. Because of the way Jon had designed it to be set up, all four receptacles are available for use, while also delivering power to the main system shown on the right. Jon taught me that in the industry, these are normally installed "upside down" for safety purposes. The ground is on top in case loose plugs reveal a portion of the pins. If anything were to touch the ground, it would be much safer than if the active pin were to be touched.
