Found this page today. Is there a known way to apply a 15 amp load?
Better yet, what should I do to assess the existing wiring in my home? As I redo the kitchen and bath I'll be putting in a subpanel with many new circuits, but what about the old ones that will remain for elsewhere in the house? What kind of tests can be done, what should be looked at?
The house was built in the early 20s, and in the early 70s went to breakers and several circuits were added by running conduit around the exterior to distribute the power to receptacles. I'm not too worried about the 70s stuff, but the 20s stuff that remains scares me. Especially with what i found stuffed into a couple boxes that I removed already.
