Wiring Question - three wires, two hot.
Hello,
I dabble with electrical. And generally, I will 'copy' existing wiring so I don't screw things up too much. I thought I was being very carefull to do this in this case. I moved a recepticle through a floor to have an extra plug in my bedroom. I wrote the wiring scheme of the receptacle down so I could duplicate the wiring upstairs. It was a three wire, 12 guage, receptacle. Why its three wires, I don't know. The scheme on the back of the receptacle I though was: Left side Right side Black White Red From the fuse box, the black and Red wires were each on its own fuse, ie both hot....again why, I do not know. The problem is that the above scheme doesn't work... I can input one fuse, but when putting in the second, it blows. Can anyone help me ??? Thanks! Louis |
