Open Question: switching out the electrical transfer box for new generator? and more... Open Question: switching out the electrical transfer box for new generator?I have an older house with a transfer box that has a 3 prong outlet, the generator I use to use works with this but it wasn't very big so I got a new one. The new one used a 4 prong quick lock. What do I do now? Can I switch out the transfer box or is there any type of adapters out there that will work. Will the existing wires for the box be enough for a quick lock style? This box doesn't look liek it was installed when the house was built It was put in by the previous owner. Any info will be helpful. Open Question: Open Neutral on a 3 way circuit?I have a home that uses Romex and one of the receptacles in the room is not working properly. This outlet is controlled by a two 3 way switches. When I use one switch, the receptacle turns on and I can then turn it off at the other switch. If I reverse the process, I can turn off the receptacle and then if I'm at the switch that I started at, that switch will not turn on the receptacle. All the other receptacles work fine and this is the only 3 way switch controlled receptacle in the room. I used my circuit tester and it shows an open neutral. If I turn on/off one of the 3 way switches then I can turn on/off the open neutral display. If I use the other 3 way switch, then the circuit tester does not show an open neutral display when I turn the 3 way switch on/off. What do I need to do to correct this problem? Yes, they are both 3 way switches. I have replace both 3 way switches and it did not make a difference. I also checked the neutral pigtail to make sure it was secure. More Recent Articles
