A situation was brought to me today. At his church somone put in a sub panel 5-10 years ago and for awhile now they have been burning up plugs. He said an electrician came up because the breaker tripped and when they went to reset it, out came smoke. This is not the first time this happened. The contractor found that the sub panel was fed with 3-wires instead 4, and the panel was bonded to the nuetral. He also went through and made sure that everything was tight. The plugs that are burning up are random and the breakers and plugs are sized accordingly to the load. My question is could the 3-wire system or something other than that?
Thanks for your time.
