How to hold additional sockets from the junction box?
Hello! I opened the box in the old house, I need to hold two additional sockets. There are no funds to change wiring. Please tell me how to find a power supply, how to connect two outlets to this box. What terminal blocks are better suited here and whether this wiring will pull an electric kettle, an iron. Please do not kick, answer the case please.

Hello! You did not send a photo, so it is difficult to answer your question without seeing the whole picture. Send a photo in the comments, it will be easier to give an answer. On your question, here's what you can say - the power cable can be found by removing the voltage in the house, disconnecting the wires in your box, pre-marking them for proper further connection. Disconnected wires must be separated from each other so that there is no short circuit, then apply voltage and determine with an indicator on which wire the screwdriver is lit, this will be the supply wire. You can of course and visually try to determine, but it is more difficult. Sometimes wires from the shield to boxes of a larger cross-section than from boxes to sockets. To answer how best to connect your two additional sockets, which terminal blocks to use for this and whether the wiring can withstand, you need a photo. If the old house, most likely there are two twists - zero and phase wires. So the cable to the sockets should be connected from these twists: from one twist you take the phase, from the other zero.
