240V Circuit Problem - Electrical - DIY Chatroom - DIY Home ...

Okay, so everyone can laugh at me now.

I figured out what the problem was.

So, I decided to do some troubleshooting. First, I removed the black wire from the breaker and connected it to the ground bar.

I then went to the disconnect panel and attempted to run a continuity test to ensure that something was not wrong with that wire.

As soon as I took the wire off of the breaker, I knew what the problem was.

Instead of making the proper connection to the breaker, the black wire slipped behind the lug and had not made the proper connection.

Fixed that and working fine. I had looked at that panel for so long and thought about so many things that I got frustrated and just could not think anymore.

I was thinking about resistive neutrals, voltage bleed, all kinds of things.

Thanks for all the help. Your responses made me sit here and think about what the problem could be instead of staring at the panel for hours.
