One switch switches the ceiling light, 2nd switch switches a pair of wall lights, and the 3rd one switches a picture light mounted above the fireplace. Ironically, I may need to remove the picture light to make way for a large picture. So my...

    DPDT switching branch circuit from one breaker to another?

    I’m planning a 240V welder circuit in a detached garage with a 100A sub panel. For the 160A or 180A output welders I’m looking at, the conductor can be #10, and a 30A breaker is probably OK, but a 40 would help the duty cycle. Conductor must handle welder's 1eff rating, breaker can be up to...

    Strange lighting issue

    Had 2 new lighting groups installed on a multi wire branch circuit that used to be used for kitchen outlets. The 12-3 cable enters the switch box where the neutral is tied to the 2 neutrals from the lights. Hots go to 3 way switches with travelers sent to 3 way dimmers in another box. Hots are...

With all the circuit breakers turned off and powering up the main breaker to the panel I still have 123 volts across both (A) and (B)...

    Running branch to shed

    I want to do a run to a subpanel in a shed - about 50'. 3 circuits: lights, electrical, spilt. I have an isolation panel - can this be retrofitted with a subpanel circuit to branch off to the shed?

    No Volts on Branch Circuit

    Hello all, As a member of various other Forums I understand that after reading the “guidance sticky” (done!) I should use search to see if others have shared my situation. Gonna pass on that last step (the Auto-search on my question was a nice touch) and get right to it. I have a small shed...

    Code regarding main and branch breakers

    I’m looking to add a GFCI breaker to my main panel. I have several open slots and have not reached the circuit capacity of my panel. However, the main breaker is not located at the top of the panel. See picture. Is there any reason (code or otherwise) I can’t locate a circuit breaker above the...

    Branch Connectors

    when using branch connectors in an array, for example 2 strings of 8 and the positives go to one branch and the negatives to the other one, there are only two cables going back to the inverter, does this mean that the same laws apply if branch connectors weren't used: amps double and volts dont?
