[QUOTE="Vettenut, post: 331294, member: 7655"] Told you I'd come calling .... Heres one for Mr 1st Vette ..... or anyone else who would know... So ... I have a 14/3 wire running from a double 15 amp breaker in my new 200 amp panel one of the legs was for a counter outlet the other was for a dishwasher We are re doing our basement kitchen and eliminating the dishwasher so this extra leg ( red wire ) is no longer needed . I belled this red wire right from the panel to the outlet and sure enough this is the wire ... only thing is that when I power the black wire ... the red is showing 48 v even though its not connected to anything. If it was shorted it would show 120ish volts ... where is this 48 volts coming from ? [/QUOTE]
