You should be able to see the results of over heating. The white wire where it is terminated will turn to a dark brown colour. The terminal screw will probably be loose if you are able to turn it at all. Be careful when you work on the neutral wire as it may be carrying the unbalanced current from another circuit. If you disconnect it from the neutral bar while the panel is still energized, and you get between the end of the neutral and ground, you will receive a shock.
What else can I help you with?
How do you tell the meter amperage of your homes electric meter?
Your main breaker should tell you the amps of your panel.
How close can an electrical panel be behind a shower wall?
Technically it could be on the other side of the shower wall, but common sense would tell you this is not a good idea.
If both wires for a ceiling light fixture are black how do you tell which is the live wire and which is neutral?
If both wires are black, the one that connects to your white wire is the one that should have little writing on it. Black to the plain black wire, white to the wire with writing.
How much clearance for electric panel and a sink?
The 30/36/6.5 rule applies. 30" clearance side to side, 36" clearance in front of the panel, and at least 6.5' clearance in height. Now, saying that I would call the local inspector and see what he says. He has the last word and even though the national code does not specify any other requirements, best to let him tell you his requirements. IMO, the farther away from the sink the better.
Does a Square D NQOD424M100 panel board accept bolt on breakers?
According to Square D, it accepts bolt-ons and plug-ins. I'm not much of a Square D guy, so I can't tell you for sure. Check the related link for the PDF containing this information.
How can you tell if a neutral bar is bonded or not to the panel?
Take a look at the junction where the ground wire and the neutral enter the panel. There you should see a green grounding screw that protruded through the neutral block and into the metal enclosure of the distribution panel.
Are sunchips baked or fried?
They are baked not fried just research it..... it's the truth!No, they are a "fried product". If you call Frito Lay customer service number on the back of the bag and ask for a nutrition expert, they will tell you it is a "fried product".
Is it necessary to replace control arm bushings?
yes if they need it and you can tell if they are fried
How do you tell if your neutral safety switch is bad?
If you have to wiggle the shift lever in park or neutral to get the starter to crank the engine, the neutral safety switch is probably worn or out of adjustment.
How can you tell if one solar panel takes in more light than another?
because a solar panel it has power
On what panel show was kitty carlisle a regular?
"To Tell the Truth".
How can you tell whether an unknown solution is acidic basic or neutral?
pH
When you test the outlet you get no current between power and neutral but you get it between power and ground?
There is an open circuit on neutral. You should have power between hot and neutral, as well as between hot and ground. Note well, however, that you should not pull any power between hot and ground, because ground is not intended to be a current carrying conductor - it is only there as a protective earth ground in the case of fault. You can not easily tell, at the outlet, if neutral and ground is reversed - you need to pull a load and then double check with a clamp on ammeter at the distribution panel.
How do you tell the meter amperage of your homes electric meter?
Your main breaker should tell you the amps of your panel.
Is the neutral bus bonded to the equipment ground in a subpanel?
Definitely not. The neutral wires must be put on the neutral buss and that is the only place that they are to be terminated in a distribution panel. In a distribution panel there is no ground buss, it is just the metal enclosure that is used. The ground wire is only used to return a system fault back to the distribution panel to trip that circuits breaker.Distribution panels typically have two "busses"-- one for ground and one for neutral. These are terminal strips where the ground and neutral wires are connected. In some panels, these busses are electrically connected or "bonded." In other panels they are isolated. Most panels come with an optional "bonding screw" that can be installed or removed depending on whether the busses need to be connected. NEC is very specific on when these busses are to be connected. Ground and neutral busses should only be bonded at the main panel where the service enters the building. Other distribution panels will have separate ground and neutral busses and they should be isolated electrically--connecting these is a commonly seen mistake.I believe the question refers to the case where the two busses are properly bonded together, so are electrically equivalent. Then is it acceptable to have some ground wires on the neutral bus and vice-versa. Electrically it will work, but code or electrical inspectors may deem it to be confusing or sloppy practice and reject the installation.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is the white wire for in an electrical circuit?
Answers for USA, Canada and countries using similar 60Hz mains suppliesThe white wire is the "Neutral" wire. The Black wire is the "Hot" wire.The Green wire is the local "Ground "wire.If you do any such work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO SOME ELECTRICAL WORKSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

water blood what that's all i know tell me!
