: I've never played much with AC power before.

: but I want to add some switches (that were made from the military, but I don't know thier original purpose, but they look pretty heavy duty) to control the power of my speaker, computer and monitor seperately. Can I break on side of the AC and have it break the circuit?

Yes you can break one side to kill the power. Kill the "hot" side. This is exactly what circuit breakers do.

: I'm not going to pass on the ground.

: Is there anything I should watch out for?
