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.
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.
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
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.
All of the videos act like breakers always buzz nonstop and easy to trace..... mine buzzes for half a sec now and then so i can't trace which one. None are warm.

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

Thanks man! Really appreciate this help
Thank you! Just diagnosed and replaced a bad breaker in a box where nothing was labeled.
Great video. Methodical and straight forward.
Excellent, simple and easy to understand.

Thanks for sharing and I can relate to your parting words. "You know me I don't throw nothing away"
I now feel well informed and more knowledgeable on the matter, and yes I feel much better with Power Off 🎉
Thanks for the video. It helped me troubleshoot my pool issue.

Thnx brotha. Helped me out today!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Same to you! Thanks for Watching!!!
You should prob fix all those breakers with extra wires on them.
Long time no see. Great video.
Merry Christmas
Appreciate that, you too, Thanks for Watching!!!
Yes. Always shut of the main pearer.
Thankyou does it matter if it’s a no fault breaker 50 amp double breaker with a ground reset for a hot tub do you test it the same way
Great video! Thank you !
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Merry Christmas, Thanks for Watching!!!
Nice! What size wire is hooked on that breaker?
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 ?
Cool thanks again fnaguitar
Merry Christmas
Thanks you too, Thanks for Watching!!!
hi friend Merry Christmas
if i get 120 while checking it, more then likely my breaker is good? Can i check the breaker while the hot wire is still on the breaker also ?
Why would there be low voltage on an entire phase? Phase a of my circuit panel all read 80 volts
A little late but, Happy New Year !
Thanks, same! Thanks for Watching!!!

How you solve ?
Happy New Year ! friend

My mom said you sound like Elvis Presley
You can still have continuity and a breaker be bad , put a load it then you'll see
The biggest problem here is that POS General Electric panel!
Why? When he replaced the breaker, problem solved.
All of the videos act like breakers always buzz nonstop and easy to trace..... mine buzzes for half a sec now and then so i can't trace which one. None are warm.
Why does my RCD keep tripping
What language was he speaking? I thought that the video was supposed to be in English 🤔
He is speaking English
talkin way too fast
I feel like you call people “Hoss”..
