hots only to sub-panel???

helping a friend out installing a sub-panel directly adjacent to main panel as he had run out of spaces in main panel. due to need to create some space in the main panel we wanted to switch some of the loads from the main panel to sub. as the original wiring is not long enough to reach the sub panel on these circuts i want to extend them by splicing with wire nuts inside the main panel.

the question is: Can i extend only the hots to the new breakers in the sub panel and leave the neutral and grounds on the buss bar in the main panel?

thanks, great forum

nope

All conductors of the same circiut must originate from the same panel. Plus the next guy that troublshoots something in the house will thank you for it.

Bathroom outlets don't work!!

F

FixItGoddess on May 03, 2002

All of a sudden none of the outlets in any of our 2 and a half bathrooms work. There is no reset button on any outlet in our house, if that makes any difference. I have not checked the breaker box because the lights are on in the bathrooms (and b/c I haven't gotten around to digging a path through my garage!). What should I do? Thanks! (By the way, our house is 14 years old. Maybe that will provide you a clue as to the type of outlets we have.)

blown bulbs

We recently bought an old house (1924) and now seem to have a problen with one of the overhead light fixtures. It is an inexpensive new enclosed ceiling light in the bathroom. Recently, the bulbs have been blowing out about once a week. I think it is the cheap lightbulbs, my wife thinks it is the wiring. The bulbs do not seem to blow out at quite the same rate in the rest of the house. Could it be the wiring or the wall switch? Thanks for your help! I am a new member. John Horner
