SO I changed my homes service from an old 60amp to a new 200 amp service, from this panel, a 2 wire service goes to an old barn. One hot, One Neutral. goes from breaker and neutral in house panel up side of house and hooks on the 2 outside wires that run overhead to the barn.
Not knowing which one was which outside when I hooked them up. I took a chance and everything is fine.
I thought if I put the hot on the wire going to the barns ground, the breaker should trip. Right?
From the barns panel, everthing is fine. I think.
I have a circuit that goes to a switch and a gfi outlet. The other day I was running a submersible pump, got shocked when I touched the metal on the pump, thought it was the pump.
Then yesterday I got a tingle when I touched the metal box that the pump was plugged into. Checked it today, couldn't reproduce the tingle.
Later today, I plug a different pump in, and got a shock when I touched any metal part on the pump.
The GFI never tripped. I thought may be a bad ground in the metal box, or could I have crossed wires up when I ran the new wire to the barn feed? Thanks
