Ok gotcha, will do. Thanks again for all your help.

After reading a lot on this (I could be wrong, I'm not an electrician so grain of salt and all that), if there is no neutral the trip coil in the gfci breaker will work based on the voltage difference between the two hots. Theoretically, the sum should be zero at all times. If that changes...

@IslandLizard and @BeardedBrews will do. I have one more question about wiring my GFCI. Do I just wire it as I had it wired earlier minus the neutral? Wiring sketch attached.

I’m not acquainted with my landlord. Rented the apartment through a broker. As for moisture, I have a condenser installed on my rig - see attached picture. I used it in my last apartment and it works very well. I have a window air conditioning unit in my room that runs on 110v/120v. I’m not...

@Wizard_of_Frobozz, as @IslandLizard said I am renting this apartment. Taking apart the panel and installing a new breaker is a no-go for me unfortunately. I don’t live in a rural area - I’m right across the river from New York City (whether that’s any better in terms of electricians following...

Well alright, good to know, thank you @day_trippr. Also, thank you @IslandLizard and @BeardedBrews! This has been super helpful and I appreciate your time. Now I just have to search the forum for wiring diagrams of a H-H-G input to a GFI.

Haha code shmode! But in all seriousness, is there risk of the breakers jamming and not tripping at all in an overload scenario if I went with something like a nail? Or would I be pretty safe with a screw that fits pretty snug through the holes plus a nut or two?

@IslandLizard I see exactly what you're talking about. I have been looking at breaker handle ties for the few minutes. Do I need to take these breakers out of the panel in order to install the tie? It's looking that way from what I've seen.

The 12v power brick will take 220 so that's good. As for asking an electrician, I will have my coworker ask his electrician friend. Thank you for the help! @day_trippr I checked in the breaker panel and it looks like they are 2 1-pole breakers. I included a picture of them. I will add this to...

That is good news, thanks for the reply. I think my PID can operate at 240v (will check). However, I do have a pump in my system. It's operates at 12v DC so in my control box I used one of the hot legs along with the neutral to connect to the ac-dc converter that serves as the power brick for...

Hey all, I just moved into a new apartment (renting). My last apartment had easy access to a 30a 240v dryer plug. This new apartment, not so much. I have tried moving my washer dryer unit but it is jammed into a closet and is stacked. No way I'm getting it out. I found a 3 prong outlet in my...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. This was my thought too. Just wanted to see if I should replace this thing before testing it. I'll test first.

Hey all, I'm having trouble with the SSR installed in my 220v control box. I have 2 outlets on the box. One brings power in and the other provides power to my element. When I stick a multimeter into the power out outlet, I'm reading full voltage no matter if the SSR indicator light is on or...
