Circuit Breaker Panel Question
BoyntonStu wrote:
3 wires coming into panel.
1 wire to ground.
2 other wires have 240 volts between them.
Each wire is connected to a 100 Amp breaker that is ganged to another.
Where do these wires connect to when the breaker is ON?
IOW If there is 240 VAC between these 2 wires they can't connect to
the same strip, can they?
Your 100A breaker takes 4 spaces. But no they can't - each incoming wire
connects to only one of the panel busses even though each half of the
breaker covers both busses. The breaker might actually use connection to
only 2 of the spaces or if it might use all 4 but stager the connection
inside the breaker.
