I need some help.
A customer with a rental property that has fuses that blow costantly on a dryer.
I tested and found no problem. Dryer pulling 25-28 amps while I was there. I figured the old dryer was overheating and blowing over time, so I told them to buy a new dryer.
Customer buys a new dryer and fuses blow more than before. I test and find 30 amps on 1 leg and 24 on the other. At this visit the voltage was 250v, 130 on 1 leg, 120 on the other. I called the POCO and they sent a crew out. The crew replaced the line from the transformer to the house because of bad insulation damage. Figured that would be the end of it.
Today they call back and say it's still blowing fuses. I'm stumped. The tenant thinks the problem is the fuse panel and while I'd love to sell a new service that won't solve the problem. There is no load on this circuit other than the dryer. What else should we look at? Thanks
