its easy.......each plug has 2 silver and 2 gold screws.....white wire to the silver and black to the gold....
so wire from breaker to 1st outlet......wire from second outlet to 3rd outlet......just connect the wires to the screws and the grounds twist together and go on the screw on top of outlet...

How To Wire Multiple Receptacles

Hi Rev,
Well, our house was built in 1930. When we moved in EVERYTHING except the kitchen was on one circuit, and it was FUSES! That was fine for the little old lady who lived here before but not for us (two computers, two TV's, a stereo system, many table lamps, and we wanted power in the garage). We got a quote from a local electrician, which was insanely obscene. You really shouldn't so electrical things yourself unless you really know what you're doing. Here's what we did: Find a local technical or trade school. They have work-study jobs. A few kids from the program do the work while thier teacher (a liscensed electrician) "supervises". We had two boys rewire just about everything in a week. The cost was way lower since you're really only paying the teacher to watch. You do have to pay for the materials. We also bought the boys pizza on the last night.

I take it youre talking about 3 outlets to one breaker. Each outlet has 2 sets of srews on each side. If you bought them new, the diagram is on the box. What I would do is put a GFI outlet on the outlet closest to the breaker and wire the other 2 off the protected side of the GFI.

The best hardwired multioutlet assemblies are called "plugmold". It's a surface mounted hardwired strip with grounded outlets every 6-10 inches. It comes in a variety of finishes and can be mounted anywhere. If you need surge protection, it can be provided at the panel.

It depends on the functions you envisage for the three plugs.
what is the rating of the main breaker?
You may want three plugs to be in parallel. In this case, you need to ensure that the current requirement for the three devices does not exceed the output current of the breaker. Unless ofcourse you will ensure not using all three devices at the same time. Else you will have a trip evertime you switch on all the three together.
Take three wires from each terminal of the main breaker and connect one of the pair (triplets depending on whether you have a neutral) to each of the plug.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy one of those 1-2-3 wiring books for home owners. Take the time to read and understand it. You can do this yourself But know that unlike the Lord, electricity won't forgive for your mistakes.
Be careful

Yikes! Please dont do this yourself. Especially if you are wiring your home it can be very dangerous and may violate state building codes. It's probably better to pay an electrician than to risk your well-being. But if you are brave and believe you know what you are doing, then you should probably check out this site:
