Assuming Chuck, you are speaking of three separate circuits and you want to connect them into a power panel. If that is correct, I also assume you have along with the three hot conductors (wires), three neutral (white) wires. If these assumptions are correct, install three breaker into your panel and attach each circuit into these new breakers. A word of caution, Ensure the white conductors are connected to the neutral bar where all other white wires are connected. Saying all of this, I now suggest you either get an electrician to do the job or at least get someone with more knowledge than you have to help. Improperly installed electrical service is hazardous not only to the structure but it is DEADLY. Good luck.

In all cases, the whites will be tied together. This can be accomplished by putting one on each screw on the neutral side of the outlet (the one with the white/silver screw which serves the longer slot and is on the same side as the ground screw.
Same is true that the greens are tied together and attached to the ground screw on the outlet
No matter what this will be the case.
IF there was supposed to be 2 circuits on one outlet (as is often the case under the sink where the outlet serves the disposal and dishwasher, take pliers and wiggle the brass tab between the 2 screws where the wire goes and actually break this small piece off. Then black goes to one screw and the red to the other.
OR...
The black (or red) goes to the outlet and the other 2 are same color wires are tied together in the box to continue on to another outlet. You can have a single white/neutral serving 2 circuits

This is not good wiring option. It is not good to have light and outlet on the same switch without different fuse. I suggest to insert another little switch on light connection. Than you can have control of both. Or you must find main phase (hot wire) inside switch box. This will be always on for tester when you try different switch position. When you find this main (hot) wire, you disconnect one of another two wire (after you disconnect power), than give power on and test light and socket (one of them will not work). If this is outlet, you must connect this wire to main (hot) one. Don't work when power on. Just test it with tester, and than disconnect when you change position of wire.
Good luck and be careful!
SOURCE: Dedicated 20 amp outlet
Ideally you should run the line straight from the circuit breaker out to your hot tub, but if the line running from your circuit breaker to the box you're using now is 20amp. you can absolutely connected to that. to be up to code it cannot be an open box it needs to be closed After you wire in your 70ft connection. (that's assuming the box that you're using is dedicated already to your hot tub) then the only difference would be is your using extra line and costing you tenths of a penny extra and electricity per hour.

Check all your wires again make sure you have a solid connection also your dryer plug has to fit really good in to the outlet not loose
Don't forget always turn off your power before work
