Hi,
I bought a book plus spent a number of hours on the computer to research and I hope someone can help me with just a few very basic questions I still have:
- I have a 100 amp service. If I turn off the main circuit breaker can I change for instance a 20 amp breaker without worry of shock if I don't touch anything else other than the breaker and the wire that needs to be unscrewed? (I have a few that don't match my GE panel and I heard that they should)
- I had an electrician once run an extra outlet but in looking a few years later I see that he ran 14/2 cable after attaching this to 12/2 running off a 20 amp breaker. This line either powers a treadmill (runs on a "115 vac dedicated 20 amp {15 amp] circuit") or a iron. The receptacle is 15amp which I believe is fine with either, but should I swap the cable to 12/2 for safety?
- I also have similar to question two above (14/2, connected to
- Can you run a series of five 15 amp receptacles for a workbench in an unfinished basement running on 12/2 on a 20 amp GPF breaker?
I really appreciate all your help!!
Best Regards, Steven
