Need Help

When testing a common household electrical outlet with a circuit tester, the meter shows the middle and right-side lights both green and the left-side light red. I have tightened everything inside, and even replaced the outlet itself. The outlet works fine. What could be wrong?

sounds like you have your neutral crossed up somewhere. check to see if the neutral wire is landed on the correct terminal.

Wire size

Fixitswife on Nov 16, 2002

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with a wiring question. It's like this: My husband has just built a woodworking shop. The power pole is set with meter in place carrying 220. It is a meter for shop only, nothing else running off of it. He has to run underground wire to the shop, 120 ft to a panel which is 125 amps. He needs some advice as to what size wire he should need to run power saws, air compressor, lights, etc? Someone told him to use No 2 wire but he seems to think that is too big. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Let me know if you need more info.
