This house was built in 1954. All the circuits had white wire used for hot in a Murray panel. Its my understanding that this may have been ok in the 1920’s. Many other defects were found inside and out. I just thought I would share this.
That doesn’t look like 1920’s or 1950’s wiring or breakers to me
How did the receptacles tested?
Yeah, thats vinyl coated wire and it was installed by an idiot.
Call it out.
Open grounds. 3 prong receptacles.
:mrgreen: agreed!!
Thanks! That is strange. My best guess was the electrician was either color blind or from the UK/Australia where back in the day black used to be a neutral and other colors like yellow, white, blue, ect were hot.
