Ok so someone put in neutral line but they didn't color it white or leave it white so
what we are going to do is determine which wire is the hot and what we've done is separated
one wire here but because these are so close it is picking up the signal. What I need to
do is move that further away. If I had a more sensitive tester that would work better. To
prove it out. So this tester is a little more sensitive. You can adjust the sensitivity
on it. So I can lower the sensitivity here. As you can see we have no hot here, See no
hot here, and hot, so that's are hot and this is our neutral. Now to make it easier in the
future we will wrap it with a piece of white tape and that way it designates it as the
neutral. That is how you can figure out which wire is which.
[This wire run had six wires at each box, four black and two green. Each side of the
conduit had three wires two black and one green. One side was bringing the power, the
other receiving. Now all that was left was to repeat the procedure at the next box...]
