    Low wattage after overloading MWBC

    So for the sake of curiosity.. why am I not seeing any sort of fluctuation across the circuit? I've read tons of posts from electricians discussing MWBC's and how they can cause 240v to go through lights and appliances but my voltage has never spiked. It's as if the outlets aren't getting fed...

    Low wattage after overloading MWBC

    Also, does it seem like there's any significance to what I mentioned in my first post about how turning on the bathroom light killed the other lights? I know it's difficult to assess stuff like that online w/o being able to see it but I feel like I'm going to end up needing to cut into the...

    Low wattage after overloading MWBC

The guy said that there were some weird splices but that he didn't think the voltage was all that off from normal. So is the poco’s neutral the most likely issue? The house was built in '55, btw. He...

    Low wattage after overloading MWBC

    So this is a long one.. The other night my dehumidifier turned on and suddenly everything in 2/3rds of the house began cycling on/off and the lights that were on started strobing as well (led bulbs btw). I unplugged everything and reset the breakers, even though none were tripped. At this...
