John Dirks Jr Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I catch over fused circuits all the time but over fused is an under statement on this one! The lower 240v range circuit (50amp) is being served by 12g. Yikes! Download Attachment: P1290206.JPG 167.53 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspectorjoe Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 You know, you could have gotten a far more dramatic picture by turning on all of the burners and one of the oven elements and then waiting a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one to keep in mind. A little puff of smoke would tell the story better than words. It can be a real guessing game sometimes when wires are all crossed up. A couple of days ago, one leg of the #8 hot tub feeder was on a 15 amp breaker, labelled 'workshop', and the 40 amp hot tub breaker had two #14's on it. I described it all and called for an electrician to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
