Circuit Breaker Panel Question
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? |

Don't know what you are talking about or asking. If you don't know how to
describe a simple setup, possibly you should not be touching anything. "BoyntonStu" wrote in message ... 3 wires coming into panel. 1 wire to ground. 2 other wires have 240 volts between them.

The ground is common. If you don't know about this, I'd advise two things. 1. Don't touch anything yet 2. Get a basic electricity book There is nothing magical about electricity in the home, but the learning curve can be deadly so don't overstep your skill level. |
Circuit Breaker Panel Question
It's called buss. There are two separate busses, one for each leg. When your
main breaker is "on" the current passes to each of the two busses and the circuit breakers are snapped onto this buss to send the electricity to the individual loads "BoyntonStu" wrote in message ... 3 wires coming into panel. 1 wire to ground. 2 other wires have 240 volts between them.

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. -- bud-- |

An electrician found an error in my breaker box and I was curious. He measured 240 VAC between a black wire and a white wire. Someone had connected the white wire to the panel neutral side of a GFCI breaker? Duh! I could not understand how 240 VAC could exist. He simply grounded the white wire everything was dandy. Do you understand the situation? |

I'm not understanding you. On some panels, one leg of buss would be longer
to reach a horizontally installed main breaker. A 120 volt GFCI breaker has a white wire on it that gets installed on the neutral buss. "BoyntonStu" wrote in message ...

Not surprising at all if you stop and think about it. Disconnect (carefully!!) the neutral wire for any circuit from the bus bar. Turn on some load on that circuit (e.g. a light bulb). Then measure the voltage between that neutral wire and the terminal of an adjacent circuit breaker (which in most panels will be on the opposite leg of the service). 240VAC is exactly what you should see. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Circuit Breaker Panel Question
Gentlemen re-start your engines!
3 wires from the outside come inside to the breaker box. A 100 AMP double breaker labeled "MAIN" receives the 2 hot wires. The neutral is wired to ground. The output of the 2 MAIN breakers (when switched ON) goes to 2 vertical busses. We are examining the left (odd) side column of breakers; 13 and 15. Question 1. Are 13 and 15 on the same leg?

(I assume so) Why do you assume that? The probability is very high that they are *not*. The typical arrangement is for the stabs to alternate legs vertically. That is, the top stab in each column will be on leg A, the second stab in each column on leg B, the third on leg A, and so on -- so with the left column designated as 1, 3, 5, ... then 1 and 2 are on leg A, 3 and 4 on B, 4 and 5 on A, and so on. In any event, there's no need for you to assume anything: the label inside the panel door will show you exactly how the stabs are connected to the busses. Question 2. What should the black of 15 measure to a lifted white wire? As I said before, that's impossible to answer without knowing what type of circuit that white wire is part of, and which breaker(s) the other wire(s) in that circuit connect to. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

If the white wire is from circuit 13 and there is an energized load on it will probably be between 220 - 240 volts and zero. With no load it should be zero. If the white wire is from circuit 15 the reading can be anywhere from 120 to zero depending on the load or no-load. Usually breakers alternate phases on the same column. So between breaker 13 and 15 you should have 220 -240 volts because they are opposite phases. What brand of circuit breaker panel is this? What was the problem that you originally experienced that caused you to call an electrician in the first place? |

On my panel (Square D), breaker positions down the left side are numbered: 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19 and on the right side: 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 1,2,5,6,9,10,13,14,17,18 are on one leg. 3,4,7,8,11,12,15,16,19,20 are on the other. Any 2 adjacent positions are on different legs, allowing the use of a double pole 240V breaker in any 2 vertically-adjacent positions. -- 11 days until the winter solstice celebration Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" |
