newest problem:
wiring hazard - outlets read reverse polarity and open grounded
newest solution: replace 50 amp box with 200 amp box
example
take that 50 amp feed out and put a 200 amp feed in
section off voltage and ground

check for incorrect wiring on outlets
black is hot - on brass screw
white is neutral - on silver/nickel screw
green is ground - on green or bare screw

checked that old 50 amp box
the main ground wire is just sitting in there and not even hooked up
why someone would just
leave the main ground unhooked like that - leaving no ground on any of the outlets
possible answer:
because there are two old fashioned two prong outlets where
no continuous ground could be used=no third prong to hook ground wire to

get rid of any two prong outlets and replace them with three prong outlets
so we can have a continuous ground on the circuit

final solution: replace electric box/breakers, wiring and outlets
___
make sure electrical outlets are rated equal or greater to the electrical load supplied
