I have 2 single pole switches, each going to a GCFI outlet. I have one hot wire from fuse box going to the junction box with the 2 switches. Then, 2 individual cables going from that junction box to the junction box with the 2 GCFI outlets. The switches do not have ground nuts on them. Is my picture the correct way to wire it all up?

Here are the pictures...

Totally wrong. The whites are not connected to the switches, wire nut them to the white going to the GFCI. The black hot feed goes to 1 side of the switch, the black to the GFCI goes to the other.

What you have will trip the breaker instantly.

The white go right passed the switches. just put the blacks to the switches

You can't operate two GFCI's at the same time on the same circuit
When you turn on the second switch it will trip the first GFCI. I am not sure what you need the switches for but. You want two recepticals on the same circuit use the load side of a GFCI to feed both switches and recepticals.

Not true. It should work just fine as drawn. There is only one hot and neutral to each GFCI and they are independent of each other.

He is feeding the outlets with the switches and he does have them on the line side.

You most can have 2 GFCI on the same circuit. His layout is ok, he wired it wrong.

So, the way I have it is correct or not??

 

[Lioneljeff33]

Is this way correct?.....

Yes....

 

[Lioneljeff33]

Ok, will see if it works.

The receptacles are downstream from each switch. Nothing wrong with this setup.

Well I see 2 annoyances, but they're not violations.

First switching GFCI devices. Some GFCIs do not like that and will trip, so you'll be forever resetting them after you turn them on.

Second wasting GFCIs. This could be solved with a single GFCI which then feeds the switches and plain outlets from its LOAD terminals. It could either be a GFCI+switch combo device here, or a GFCI device farther up the line toward the panel.

I am using these GCFI outlets to power my dishwasher and garbage disposal. The GCFIs are located under the kitchen countertop, behind the built in dishwasher. You think I should use plain 15A outlets?? No GCFIs. So that nothing will trip. What if the outlets get wet by chance? If I do it will plain 15A outlets, what kind should I use??

 

[Jim Port]

The gfis must be accessible. They cannot be behind the dishwasher.

 

[Lioneljeff33]

So, I should use plain 15A outlets? Not GCFI outlets. If I was to use plain 15A outlets, how does all that wire up?

 

[MTN REMODEL LLC]

Well...I sure would not put a GFI behind a built in DW.

I imagine that is a dedicated circuit, If you do want to GFI it, you may just want to put in a GFI breaker. ...that will be easily accesable to reset if you had a problem. (I probably would not bother GFIing it)

EDIT
Lionel.....We are a DIY....but when starting to learn about electrical....WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS......it's prrobably wise to either have a pro or a friend who actually understands electrical give you a hand.

NEC requires GFCI protection for both dishwasher and garbage disposal.

 

[Lioneljeff33]

The National Electrical Code (NEC) does notrequireÂ*aÂ*garbage disposalÂ*toÂ*have GFCIprotection.Â*GFCIprotection for this appliance is optional. ...Â*Garbage disposalsÂ*should be either hardwired or connected to an outlet through a grounded electrical outlet.
