so for instance if the breaker where PL#1 is is on the right bank
but the breaker where PL#2 has to go is on the left
you can move the circuit breaker up or down 1 position and be on the same bank
they're staggered
but that's the first thing you need to confirm, but those speeds sound like you have poor connectivity aka only through the neutral plane which is shared between banks

so
w8
switching breakers
so
like
i take a breaker out
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:38 PM
physically moving the circuit breaker
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:38 PM
and switch side
and it switches to that side
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:38 PM
will move which side of the feed its on
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:38 PM
ohh
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:38 PM
no not switch side
because the wires int he box will be too short
but since its staggered
you would move it up or down 1 position
and you'd be on the "opposite" leg
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:39 PM
ohhh
so its like
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
like this is the breaker box
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:39 PM
correct
and then if you had a 240v device, like an oven, it uses a double breaker
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:39 PM
---------------
1                     1
2                     2
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:39 PM
and grabs from both 1 and 2
yup exactly
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:40 PM
ok tysm
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:40 PM

that pic make more sense?
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:40 PM
yup
should i trun power off to the house while doing this?
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:41 PM
Sounds like you're not familiar, so I would throw the main breaker off
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:41 PM
is that the big one on the top
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:41 PM
yes can be on top or bottom btu it's usually marked "MAIN"
it'll be a 100, 125,150,200A, etc.
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:41 PM
ok
ty man
Hugh Mungus - Today at 1:42 PM
If you don't know which breaker is the main, you really shouldn't do this
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:42 PM
Yeah I kind of agree
be careful
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:42 PM
No, my dad would do it
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:42 PM
you can't really screw anything up, and also, you may be setup properly already
Hugh Mungus - Today at 1:42 PM
electricity is not to be screwed with, you'll be ok right up until the point your killed without warning
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:43 PM
ik
il make sure he turns main power off first
Hugh Mungus - Today at 1:43 PM
buy a voltage detector
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:43 PM
You can actually figure this out without touching anything
if you look up what panel your home has
you can find a schematic
Hugh Mungus - Today at 1:43 PM
VD's are cheap as dirt
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:43 PM
then flip the breakers until you find out which circuits the PL are on
Hugh Mungus - Today at 1:43 PM
and you should always use them
5mall5nail5 - Today at 1:43 PM
and you can figure out what's up
@Staunchbeard :smiley:
!BlueSn00w - Today at 1:44 PM
ok
thanks
