Re: Another question regarding wiring

[Guest guest]

Hi again, All,

 

On a quest for some answers today....  I have recently had new wiring put in

and am having a problem with one circuit, which seemingly does not make

sense.....

 

It is a dedicated circuit for a washing machine.  I noticed one night (by

turning circuits off until the offensive circuit was found) that this circuit

causes me ES symptoms.  My electrician returned to check it out, along

with the local wiring inspector (it was the inspector who had the " bug "

detector which we used in last email).  Anyway, they opened the circuit panel

and checked the connection--no problem.  They opened the outlet cover and

looked there--no problem.  What can the problem be?  The circuit bothers me

unless it is off at the circuit box regardless of whether there is anything

plugged in to it or not.  We have hospital grade metal clad wiring, btw. 

Could something be wrong with the wire itself and cause a problem that would

lead to ES symptoms?  The electrician and inspector just shrugged and left. 

They told me to let them know if I figure out what the problem might be.  (Like

I would know this stuff more than them,

eh?  lol  Geez...)  My only guess is the ground wire inside the metal

shielding is damaged or somehow not correctly made.  Would that cause a

problem resulting in ES symptoms?  Could there be a situation in which the wire

could have gotten a kink in it that damaged it?  Could a faulty dehumidifier

(the last thing plugged into that circuit) cause damage to the wire?  (Now

know, to my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with this dehumidifier except it

does bother me ES-wise a bit.)  Any ideas, Anyone?

 

Thanks,

Diane

puk replies - maybe its the length of the wire which is acting as a

re-radiator for some signal somewhere ?
