I'm both embarrassed and happy to say that after further troubleshooting I discovered that the outlet we wired temp for testing was miswired and being fed by the wrong circuit. This led to all loads being on the same leg. I was a little lazy in my initial troubleshooting and made too many...
After more thorough testing I am even more troubled.
Quick recap: My service 120/208, hot to hot is 208.
With an 8.5 amp toaster oven on one circuit and 11 amps on the other circuit which feeds the fridge (about 1 amp) and space heater (temp) my neutral current reads 19.2 amps. I'm using...
Refrigerator at 1 amp and 3/8" drill motor at 2 amps. I was using a cheap off brand clamp on ammeter but it doesn't seem that would be the culprit here. I might have to increase load and test again.
I'm remodeling my kitchen and am bringing it up to code. My service is 120/208. I wired up my first multiwire circuit. I decided to read neutral current flow with a clamp on ammeter to make sure everything was cool. I had a 1 amp load and a 2 amp load on the two hots. I expected to see something...
