Below is a picture of my main breaker box on the side of my house. The double breaker there goes to my pool breaker box. My multimeter reads 240v when I check the red and black wires in the picture (called main breaker box).
In main breaker box:
Black to red is240v
Black to ground is 120v
Red to ground is 120v
However when I check the red and black wires into the pool breaker box, I am only getting a reading of 120v. Shouldn't I get a reading of 240v just like the main breaker box? Reason I am asking is that my 240v pool pump and polaris pump are not working any more after an electrical storm last night . . . I have already replaced the pool pump motor with a new one . .
In pool breaker box:
Black to Red is 120v
Black to white is 0v
Red to White is 120v
Black to ground is 0v
Red to ground is 120v
White to ground is 0v
Thanks for any help you can give me!
