update power problem observations
okay, first off, I am confused about electricity. There are four big
wires a big red one that goes to one of the 50 amp breakers, a black one that goes to the other, a white that goes to the bar with all the other little white ones and a green that goes to the other side with all the bare copper ones. I checked with my test light that lights for 110 and another light for 220, and when i touched the place where the red wire connects to the breaker and either the green or white bar it reads 110. when i do the same with the black wire on the other 50 amp breaker the same happens. I took the little plastic thing that holds the two 50 amp breakers together off and when i flip the top one the plugs that have lamps plugged into them go out, when I flip the other one the heater in the bathroom goes off. So both are doing something. Also, the gauges in the upper dash labeled ac voltage are reading:leg 1 120, leg 2 120. the gauges labeled ac amperage leg 1 reads zero and leg 2 reads 10. I looked for gfi plugs and found none. should I take the switch apart that I use to select genarator 30 or 50 amp? I tried to work it with the genarator and the same problem was there. Im so confused. Robert Rahn 88 pt 40 Kalispell, Mt. |
