posted a few days back about an intermittent problem at one of my rentals. checked all the outlets and neutrals as advised and everything checked out. got a call this morning at 6:10 AM from tenant, all power on that circuit was now dead. went over and dvom'd all the outlets....no power. went to the breaker panel and checked the breaker and the lug connector on the breaker. had power there. hmmmmmm.. pulled the breaker (it was an oldie QO, prolly original. pulled the wire off the lug and found it was green with corrosion, as was the inside of the terminal lug. installed a new breaker, cut the corroded section off and reattached it. kicked the breaker in and wha-la!!!! everything works. watched the dvom for about 20 minuted or so and saw no drop in voltage. i should have pulled the breaker the first time, but checking power at the lug lured me into a false sense of security(lol). wanted to thank everybody for the suggestions and let youz know what i found. thanks again!!
