Net current, of 2.5 AMPS on two separate conduits created by one single pole 15 amp breaker.
The neutral of one circuit returned to the service panel in a separate conduit. This is why you get a matching net current on both conduits. So the hot current is going out in one conduit and the neutral return current is coming back in the other conduit. The Municipal Building Inspector missed this: but he still got paid.
How could the Building Inspector fail to see this and thereby inform the homeowner of the blatant NEC violation, fire hazard, shock hazard and Severe Concern magnetic fields in the house & on the master bed? Most commonly I hear that they: are short on time, don’t have the training or don’t have the proper test equipment. This is why it is critical that you hold 20% of final pay to the electrician until you hire a certified EMRS to test the house for you.
National Electric Codes are not arbitrary: they are designed to avoid shock and fire hazards. Electricians are tasked with wiring to meet the Code and Building Inspectors are tasked with making sure of that: sadly, I find violations of the NEC in 1 of 4 homes I assess.
“Are Electrical Fires Covered by Home Insurance?
House fires from electrical appliances are a top cause for starting a home fire. Most homeowner insurance providers will cover electrical fires, but the amount you will be reimbursed and the reasoning for the fire will vary your outcome for amount of reimbursement.” See link: https://www.insurancequotes.com/home/electrical-fires-home-insurance
To save time & money for my client I detect, locate and mark the circuits that are violating the NEC and mark them so my EMF electrician can quickly start work in them rather than re-survey the entire house. This video was provided to my EMF electrician and he quickly found the source of the violation at a J-Box 100′ from the service panel: he corrected it to NEC compliance and the net current vanished.
Net currents & elevated magnetic fields can be caused by neutral to neutral connections between separate single pole circuits which is a violation of National Electric Code 300.3(B) or Neutral to Ground connections at any place other than the service entrance electric panel (SEP): NEC Code 250.24(A)(5). See link for official animated video explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAAZCMns8YM
As evidenced by the 2.5 amp net currents on separate conduits and elevated magnetic field this apparent violation appears to be related to breaker #5 and possibly others too.
The net currents vanish when breaker #5 is off if all other breakers are off as well.
Other breakers may have some influence but were not tested and recorded.
Regardless of any building inspectors sign off on the final permit there is an apparent code violation here that needs to be traced and fixed for fire and shock hazard per NEC code.
Addtional NEC wire code violations may become evident when these are traced and fixed.
Verification of the fix should be done by a competent EMF electrician using a 3-axis gauss meter and multiple AMP clamps.
