Im pretty sure I did this right. I am moving a panel of circuits over to another panel. There are a few pipes that have more then 1 nuetral in them.
3hots 2 nuetrals. obviously 2 circuits are sharing a neutral. I need to identify that neutral so that the 2 loads are put on different phases correct? I wouldnt want a neutral feeding 2 hots on the same phase because it wouldnt balance the neutral. It would put twice the load on it. I used a clamp on meter and grouped things together until I got a reading of zero. It seemed to work in all situations. Is this correct? Will 1 hot and its nuetral give me a reading of zero? will 2 hots and its neutral do the same? Is this the way to identify neutrals or is there an easier way?
