Single phase 120 residential. Have power to two outlets, but nothing past, which includes lights for master bedroom and my sons entire room. Found an open on the hot wire between last outlet with power and next outlet. So feeling I will have to open up the wall to run new romex
Could just be a bad/old receptacle. Maybe the load side terminals are shot? It’s worth swapping out the receptacle before opening the walls. But good luck either way. I enjoy electrical work, but chasing ghosts is not fun.
It's an open on the hot wire between the outlets. Everything is Daisy chained with wire nuts inside the boxes. They arent going through the outlet with the power
He meant a leg of 220V, which is one side of a residential panel, but I got nothing else for ya, sorry.
Good luck.
Ahh, yeah, I see that now. But when I said half my upstairs lost power, all the area that lost power was on a single breaker, but the breaker is good, and the first two outlets on the circuit still have power. I found an open on the hot wire between two outlets. It's in the wall somewhere. Not sure why. Only the hot wire in that romex is open. Neutral and ground still have connection.He meant a leg of 220V, which is one side of a residential panel, but I got nothing else for ya, sorry.
Might be kinda important to find that, or disconnect and run another.
