house electrical question
Thanks, found it. Kitchen receptacle circuit. Turned off the
breaker until I have time to trace out the problem and now I have choice of AC's. By the way, with the red 30 amp cord in the 50 amp outlet, neither of the 110 indicators in the panel shows current although I do have power. Is this normal?
