Need some electrical help

I know ohms law retard. You're not going to move countries just because you like 220v more than 110v is the point. Stop being a laser beam autist

Op did you check your gfi plug

Sage

Just tested it with an extension cord to another outlet... Yes they def work. It's something to do with the breaker

Welp, call an electrician then. Or turn off your mains and start troubleshooting. You have a toner and probe right?

Other day my outlets weren't on in my kitchen and circuit breaker was fine. The GFI plug next to the sink was tripped. Didn't realize they were on the same circuit in the other side of the room. Just a suggestion.

Or do you have a dmm? You could see if your breaker went bad and is permanently closed.
Yeah you could swap breakers if you want. If you have another 40amp that you're able to turn off and swap. See if it's the breaker.
That's assuming you don't have a dmm to determine if the breaker is bad or not.

What a fucking joke, move to a country where the government gives a damn about its citizens and has proper wiring regulations.

OR

Get better fire insurance

i second this.
every time i hear "it's not gfi" it usually means they forgot about another outlet somewhere, or don't understand that gfi trips a whole circuit.

The breaker has dust inside it, get some carb cleaner the stuff they use on autos and spray it on the breakers

lol government

Must be dirt in the breaker.
Carb cleaner is the way to go.

not OP, just curious.

what do you find in this box to be concerning?

Nail varnish remover will work too.

is that 14 gauge wire on a 40 amp breaker?

no way. looks to be 8/10 solid core.
SHOULD be ok.

Dude you are gonna burn your fucking house down.

Spray carb cleaner where I indicated with the arrows, it's a common problem with this type of breaker, dust gets in there. Nail varnish remover will work too, but you need to be able to spray it in so it carries the dirt out. Or you could purchase a new breaker.

Yep there's your problem right there

There is no way that's 8 or 10 AWG. That's 14 all day long. By NEC a that conductor should be 4 AWG at minimum. And y'all are trying to get this fucker killed spraying carb cleaner in it. Everyone knows that you use Coke. The acid in it breaks down the corrosion better.

QP breaker when it should be an MP-T I'm surprised OP is still posting here and not in the hospital

"The reason plugs in the UK are so big is that each one must be individually fused. And the reason for that is something called a "ring circuit".

In a ring circuit you have, say, a 40 amp fuse at the mains/box. From this you send out two wires, each rated only for 20 amps, going in a circle around the house. You can now supply 40 amps worth of power using only cheaper 20 amp wires. (Since the current can flow over both wires at once.)

But this means that the wires going to an individual appliance are far too small for the main breaker, so each appliance gets a fuse in the plug.

Ring circuits have serious drawbacks, but they helped during a time when there was a copper shortage.

And ever since then the UK has been stuck with huge plugs.

"

What's the rating for all 3 fridges, what's the plug(s) rating, are all 3 on the same breaker?

Check the skill in making those fuse bridges.
The only reason you need fuses in the first place is because the average IQ of a blue collar fuckwit electrician is less than 90. But if you are intelligent and skilled with your hands and you do your own wiring then they are not required.
No trade electrician could have stripped those wires so cleanly and made such a good job of making such awesome bridges.

>Its not gfi... Pic related is it... There is no gfi in the brwaker or the outlet

yeah it seems like he doesnt realize what a gfi outlet is. its not the outlets on the fridge connections you retard OP, there are other GFI outlets (possibly with nothing plugged into them) elsewhere in the room. they are usually next to water sources.

What is it with fuckwit Americans?
Why do they ALWAYS assume anyone on Yea Forums who is not in the USA is in Europe?
Do they know how the internet works?
They must think that the USA is connected by a single cable to Europe.

220-240V is used in hundreds of countries including the UK without using a ring circuit. And with using small compact plugs not fused plugs.

>being this stupid and insular, being American

Check for continuity in the breaker. Also you should never run more than one refrigerator on one cct.

>50 hz

enjoy your screen tearing user

I think you have a bad breaker in other words.

what is that shit all over the breakers dude? clean that shit out you nasty fucker

Oh fuck......remember the days when blue collar fuckwits did not have the brains necessary to connect to the internet. Such awesome days, Yea Forums was so fucking awesome because anyone here had an IQ of more than 120.

Now we have to listen to morons from the USA with IQs less than 100 spout their ignorance in all matters.

Modern displays and lighting are no longer at the same frequency as the power grid.

And if your IQ wasn't less than 100 you would know that the American TV system used a modulation called NTSC which was joking called Never The Same Colour because the colours in the picture could change with the strength of the signal. I was bloody awful and noticeably worse than the PAL system that most developed countries used....and they used that for decades, still do. kek

Pro-Tip: Use carb cleaner and save yourself the cost of a new breaker.

replace 40amp GE breaker with 60 amp Cutler-Hammer bolt on and replace 14 gauge wire with fiber optics...

ITT: Either OP trolls those with an ounce of common electrical sense; or OP shows he's extremely lucky that he hasn't burned his house down yet.

So stop cowering and post your country so I can make fun of your inferior third world circuitry

>50Hz
Toppest

While you guys were bitching with each other about the important issues in life like;

homosexuality
abortion
race
guns

The rest of the world was modernising. Then you wake up one morning and it is the USA which is a third world country but hey at least you still have your priorities right like;

homosexuality
abortion
race
guns

Lel

Nope 220V 60Hz actually

>is that 14 gauge wire on a 40 amp breaker?
That's OK if it is 105 °C insulation wire which is not bundled, sheathed, or in conduit.

>By NEC a that conductor should be 4 AWG at minimum
Oh (You).

My house is wired with 12-2 does this mean I can change all my single pole 20’s to 60amps?

why didnt u probe the socket?
Why do u have 3 fridges?

>NTSC which was joking called Never The Same Colour because the colours in the picture could change with the strength of the signal.
>he doesn't have the freedom to change his own colors.

Ok retard

No, because you probably have NM-B which is limited to 60 °C.

informative ass strikes again good read ty

what kind of lazy ass name is the united states. they cant even into naming their country. fucking retards the lot of them.

USA IS NUMBER ONE

usa is like the nigger with his cellphone walking down the street rapping shittily to his own nigger music, meanwhile thinking he's the shit

other people are just rrying to ignore them like...ew.

Tbh I didn’t even know you could get 40amp single pole the highest I have in my box is 20 single or the 30amp double I put in for hot water heater with 10-2 wire

Blow it out your ass

>Why do u have 3 fridges?
Dead nigger storage

I'd be mad too if my 2000+ years of history were outdone by some christian rebels in 200 years lmao. But hey good job surpassing us in education and fitness (by which I mean surpass our niggers while being equal to our whites, congratulations)

Nigger detected

Even the color coding on those bridges is correct. AND color coding on the connecting wires.
An electronics engineer did this so you know the wire size is going to be double that needed and therefore no fuse is required, pure class.

The irony that a dumb electrical engineer is using it as an example of bad practice with the denied permit file-name when it really is an example of denied education of the electrical engineer.

>worse than
White American detected

They have things you can plug into an outlet that'll tell you what the wiring issue is. They sell them at hardware stores.

Also, that outlet in the picture should have a ground wire.
