    ❓❓❓❓I have two wall plugs (out of three…in a room size area)……..that are “open hot” (reading on a circuit reader) ….how do I find out which circuit they are in the box?

  • @artsbydebi
    @artsbydebiАй бұрын

    ‘Open hot”…(they don’t work)

  • @diywithconfidence
    @diywithconfidenceАй бұрын

    So to be clear, you plug something into the outlet and the item will not work, but the circuit reader shows that it is hot meaning there’s electricity running to it. Is that correct. In this situation, I see two options. One is calling electrician to come look at it And investigate. However, as a DYIer we want to do it ourselves. So if the circuit reader is giving you that reading then leave that plugged in and use the process of elimination on the breaker box by turning one breaker off at a time to see when that circuit reader turns off. Once again, use many of the method available from the video: have somebody standing near it, using a video app on another device, etc.

    I have another brand of circuit breaker finder, and I have one receptacle in my kitchen that I absolutely cannot figure out. The detector starts beeping over a general area, I have flipped every one of those breakers and it’s not it. The only one I didn’t flip in the area that “beeps” is the 50 amp that our electric emergency heat is on, and there’s no way in hell this 15 amp outlet in a totally different room is connected to it, is there?

    I liked the long extension cord method to the upper level since the 2nd half of it nearest the breaker box would never have to be moved and the other end could be just moved from room to room. Someone commented what about a water heater, well that going to be a double 220v breaker for that application only and should have already been marked to begin with like a air handler, air conditioning unit, a range, well pump, etc. other that that this is mainly used for identifying multiple outlets, lighting, etc. After I retired I had so much free time on my hands that I took the time one day to identify every single item's location on each of the 15 or 20 amp circuits even down to outlets on which walls, inside lighting, front or rear outside lighting, flood lighting, doorbell transformer etc. I could never stand those small little standard identification labels in the box so I created a master sheet using Excel on the computer using single space for 15-20a, or double space for 30-50a rows and printed out a easy read large full size 8 1/2" X 11" sheet (resembling the actual panel) and fastened it to the inside of the breaker box door, it has highlighted colors and matching color coded breaker larger number labels (also easy read) for each room. It was a great rainy day project with nothing else to do and was definitely worth all the time and trouble, if I ever need to work on something now I just go to the panel box and switch that breaker off confidently, but for safety I always take the time to confirm that the circuit is dead using testing equipment.
