A rare video that shows how to do it when the breaker box is hot. Also, the continuity test helps me to validate my old breaker was indeed the culprit. Thanks!

Thanks!! Put me over the top on a two day, frustrating DOUBLE PARTS FAILURE on an HVAC air handler. Blower motor went out, changed it, worked for one cycle and then a double-pole breaker inside the air handler gave up immediately after. It was backfeeding to the 240v transformer, which fooled me until I noticed the breaker switch was not catching every time while I tried to figure out the problem. I had previously checked the terminals individually to ground, but not across to each other. Absolute hair-puller.

Great job! Excellent explanation… Most definitely will call a electrician to replace my 240v circuit breaker 😊

Glad the fix worked. Though it is unlikely, after checking a breaker is passing power when ON that it will cut power too before installing it. Then when installed and rechecking if the Circuit still has power when OFF you know it is coming from somewhere else...

I got a free dryer. I was told it worked. It does spin but no heat. I changed all the heater side parts including element. Still no heat. I have a 240v plug in the shed for it. I tested each leg to grnd. Each has 120 so I assumed 120+120 is 240. I didn't check each leg together. When I did it reads 0. So this video helped confirm something bad in the circuit NOT the dryer. I gotta figure how to change the DP 30amp breaker. It is in a box outside, right below the meter where the electric service comes in to the property.

Hi, if you were to energise one pole of that bkr there on your table, and measure the voltage across both poles, what should this voltage be ?

Help! I read 120v on each breaker separate but not 240v when tested together just like your video, but when I pull the breakers off to test continuity, they are both good.

I had electrical problems and after many tries of diagnosing the problem I got to the 70amp breaker outside the house. I wanted to replace it with a 60 amp $37, because it was cheaper than the 70amps so I decided to go with the expensive $86 70-amp
