Or in a seprately derived system. You won't find many separately derived systems in a typical residence but you might run in to them on farms and such.

James,

I mean no disrespect but I really think you should hire an electrician. This isn't something you can learn from a message board or a $10 book from home depot.

When I was an apprentice electrician, I worked with a fellow whose neighbor was electrocuted. The guy who was electrocuted was a farmer. He had installed a fuel pump for his tractors some thirty-plus years earlier. It was wired incorrectly. One day, conditions were right, he touched the right spot and it was all over.

I worked for a long time as an electrician and electrical contractor. During that time, I did some fire restoration work. It wasn't until I started doing fire investigations that it really hit just how big a problem this DYI trend has become. I have seen so much devastation it is mind boggling over what? Saving a hundred bucks on and not hiring an electrician! It is insane!

The majority of electrical fires are caused by loose connections and other very basic errors. To date, more than 90% of the fires I have investigated were, on their face, in compliance with the NEC and all other building codes.

In the jurisdiction where I was (and still am) licensed, an electrician has to have 8,000 documented hours experience just to qualify to take the journeyman exam. The General Electrical Contractor license requires 16,000 hours.

Think about that. That is a lot of experience. There is a reason for it. Electricity is nothing to fool around with. If you want to save money, buy generic products at the grocery store, put cheap gas in your car or find some other way to save money. Hire an electrician!

And you can essentially buy a home inspector certification from any number of sources! Go figure!
