Thanks a bunch, Freddy!!

Gosh, I own an exact same thing in my toolbox!!
I haven't measured a circuit more than 500VAC yet; but I'll always keep this info in the back of my head.

Thanks a bunch!!

Wiring in kitchen is suddenly affecting radio

M

mamartinek on Aug 16, 2002

Hello. My radio is pugged into the same recepticle as the microwave. There haven't been any problems until a few days ago. Everytime I turn on the microwave the radio's transmission becomes one big fuzz. Nothing can be understood. I've tried to fine tune the station, but everything is static. Yesterday I turned on the ceiling fan and the radio was affected. This is a 60 year old rental house, with (I believe) the original wiring. Also, the age of the house has insured that there is only one usable outlet. I believe the outlet for the refrigerator is new. Here are some questions: there are termites living in the area of the microwave outlet (soon to be terminated) and the roof was recentlly replaced and as it was also termite ridden there was a lot of debris that fell into the attic, etc. Then, of course, we had the 100 year rain. Would the termites, debris (which is quite able to fall between the walls) or dampness have led to this sudden static? One other thing: The outlet itself (is this the recepticle?) pushes into the wall when a plug is pushed in. I'm not sure if one of those metal boxes (whatever they are called) was used, but it is obviously not anchored very well. Have I lost the grounding? I would truly appreciate the assistance. Thank you. MaureenRead More

20a breaker with 15a outlets

H

Housemarried on Aug 18, 2002

I have completed a complete kitchen remodel including updated electric. I have a debate going on if my electrical work is correct. Someone told me if I have a 20a circuit breaker I must use 20a outlets. Back in school I was taught 15a outlets could be used on a 20a circuit but not vice versa {20a outlets on 15a circuit with 14/2} So am I correct? Here is a breakdown of my kitchen wiring if it helps. I have a 20a circuit breaker which goes to a 20a GFCI. From the load side of the GFCI {the entire circuit is done in 12/2 romex}: five 15a outlets {breakdown below} two lights with one 60 watt bulb in each one outlet is the 110v for the gas stove one outlet is for the over the stove microwave unit and low voltage lighting three outlets for the counterspace As required by code, my dishwasher, disposer and fridge each have its own circuit {2 GFCI for dishwasher and disposal}Read More
