Can A Bad Breaker Cause Low Voltage

So i got everything the.

Can a bad breaker cause low voltage.

Low voltage from circuit bad breaker. I m doing some rewiring work in the kitchen. Viewed 42k times 5. The process explained below will help to identify the location of the faulty wire or a connection is causing the low voltage condition.

Could it just be the breaker i replaced two months ago was also a bad breaker. The issue we re having is an intermittent voltage drop on the outlets in the bathrooms. One of my friends suggested that a bad breaker could be the cause but is this really a possibility. Ask question asked 9 years 4 months ago.

The entire house seemed to be suffering from low voltage despite the electrical wires outside being totally intact. Active 2 years 9 months ago. The breaker in the box is a gfci with a white square button in addition to the on off breaker switch. If we turn the breaker off on again we can use a voltmeter to find 118 volts in all of the bathroom outlets.

Low voltage in an outlet can occur for a number of reasons and those reasons usually can be divided into two categories. One reason an outlet may have low voltage is that it is worn out. A low voltage condition such as this is may be caused by a fault with the neutral wire. All wiring is copper.

There were three circuits coming into a junction box that controlled the sink disposal dishwasher a few receptacles and a light. A friend suggested a current surge through the wires but my assumption is if there was a current surge the breaker would have tripped or burnt out instead of having a low voltage reading of 102v 105v. The lights started to dim.
