    2v low voltage on circuit

    Wow, how much that cost you? Yea I disconnected all the wires and want to make sure the hot wire from the receptacle is a direct run to the panel. Went to attic and took some pic. The wire coming in should be the first receptacle. Following the hot wire/open neutral, it runs directly to the...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    It seems like neutral to ground should be 0V but is hot to neutral be 0v using a volt meter tester? I want to make sure the source wire is good between the receptacle and the panel before i test for the open/loaded neutral. So the problem must be downstream, maybe to the switch. If upstream...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    Correction, that junction box is for the dome light, the first receptacle in the circuit, besides the transfer switch. The initial set up, there is 120 VAC for hot to ground and neutral to ground. and 1.3V hot to neutral. After i separated the wires, reading from the wire connected to the...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    I separated the in and out wires. The in wire readings: Hot to ground 125.5v Neutral to ground is 0v Hot to neutral is 0v Is this normal?

    2v low voltage on circuit

    Forget the transfer switch. I proof that it is delivering 120v thru the wire to the dome light. Below is the dome light. The readings are: Light switch. Ground to neutral 115v. Hot (Long black wire with clip to red) to neutral 1.3v Hot to ground 123.5v Bypass 2 hot wire (short back wire) to...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    Yes, the red wire is fed into the manual transfer switch, and the labeled black wire from the transfer switch is connected to the black,white,ground cable to the first receptacle. I just tested the connection from transfer switch wire nutted to the electric wire leaving the panel. At the breaker...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    I have a transfer switch for the generator. I guess that is somewhat of a junction box. I think it might be the spot where the red becomes regular wires where i see the first receptacle. Im not sure how that works.

    2v low voltage on circuit

    Definitely not the GFIs. I disconnected both and still no power. I disconnected an outlet upstream before both GFIs and it powered down all the GFIs. I have not seen any stabbed receptacles. The oldest receptacle was stripped and screwed down. I think i pin pointed the first receptacle/junction...

    2v low voltage on circuit

    Definitely not an on/off position problem. :)

    2v low voltage on circuit

    i checked the voltage and it is reading 122v. I replaced it anyways. Now one of the outlet read 1.2v. So its not the breaker.

    2v low voltage on circuit

    I guess it's easier to replace breaker before checking upstream.

    2v low voltage on circuit

    I recently plugged in a dewalt drill charger and it must have shorted something. I couldnt turn on the light that is on the same circuit. Easy, just flip the breaker. Went to the panel and found that the breaker did pop. I flipped it off and on, went back expecting every to be work. Nope didnt...
