![]() ![]() more than two like conductors need to be joined.) Series if the line conductors are connected to one pair of binding posts on the device and the load conductors are electrically joined to them using the other pair of binding posts on the device.Īhh, but you can wire receptacles in series and parallel. Parallel if the line and load conductors are joined (hot to hot, "neutral" to "neutral")with a cap inside the device box and then connected to the device(usually not done unless there is a reason e.g. Series if the line conductors are connected to one pair of binding posts on the device and the load conductors are joined to them using the other pair of binding posts on the device. more than two like conductors need to be joined.) An open neutral is a poor connection of your neurtal wire which may exist within your house wiring, panel or can be caused by a bad connection in the meter or transformer of the utility. Recepticles are wired in parrallel the tab you break to make it split circuit enables the power to run through in parrallel with the wire. Outlets in a room will work if connected in series. Why would you bother to post something if you have no idea what you are talking about, jjsgranpa? If connected in series, they wouldn't work. The outlets in room are generally connected in PARALLEL not series. If it doesn't then try testing between the hot and ground.if your tester lights up, then you have an open neutral. To check for an open neutral just take a test light and check between the hot and neutral wires, if it lights up, then your fine. In rooms most outlets are connected in series to each other, so if you have an open neutral in one outlet, it can affect all the other outlets too. If for example you test a outlet in a room, and the tester shows that you have an open neutral, Then somewhere along the circuit the neutral is not connected properly.
