Can their be short where plugs dont work in a area but work elsewhere?

Residential wiring usually has at least 2 circuits per room. A failure of one circuit will leave the other circuit alive. Check the main panel box for a tripped breaker. If there is a tripped breaker reset it and wait. If it trips then unplug everything from the wall outlets. Try again, if it trips call an electrician. Call an electrician if you don't know where your panel box is or understand any of this.

What is a sub panel?

A sub-panel is always fed from a main panel. The main panel is situated where the electrical service wiring first enters the main structure on a dwelling plot or building site.A sub-panel can be situated within the same building as the main panel or it can be in a subsidiary building or structure (such as a garage, garden shed or workshop) that is separate from the main building.More informationA sub-panel is another name for a secondary breaker box, just as "the main panel" is another name for "the main breaker-box"."Breaker-box" and/or "panel" are just alternative short names that are used instead of the full name "circuit breaker box".


How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?

Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.


Where do I ground if there is No ground coming out of the box?

The question doesn't say what "the box" refers-to: is it a wall box for a socket outlet or is it for a switch - or is it actually the main circuit breaker panel for the building or apartment?You can add a safety ground wire to any wall box - to connect appliances back to the ground on main breaker panel - only if there is a main grounding wire installed at your main breaker panel.You can't add a safety ground wire to any wall box, to connect appliances back to the main breaker panel, if you don't already have a ground wire installed at your main breaker panel. If that is the case, your wiring must be at least 50 years old. It is time to consult with an electrician...As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How do you install a 110v receptacle from a 3 phase breaker box if there are no neutrals in the breaker box?

If there is no neutral available you cannot, unless you use an autotransformer and derive a neutral. A panel with no neutral is called a power panel and is used to supply 240 single and three phase loads.
