This connects to the meter above and feeds several breaker panels down stream for an entire ranch (house/ several barns/ pool/ pumps). Some of the legs in the barns are still fused/ knob/ tube.
I intermittently lose one leg and traced it back to the main box shown. Noncontact voltage sensor indicated voltage on all legs except top left right in from meter. No Amp flow clamped around black.
Unsure why if there's no voltage top left there would be voltage under it on the other side of the fuse unless it can back feed or ghost voltage. But why wouldn't it register above it too?
Is it safe to say this is a feed issue on the black leg?
This setup is idk how old. It has miles of powerline just for this box so lots of places for problems.
Are these huge main fuse panels dangerous and should this just be upgraded? Is it unsafe to have the door open when the fuses are energized? Can they blow big enough to cause injuries if the panel door is open? Should I not be checking voltage on these things...
