I was giving electrical work a try today by adding another outlet in a more ideal location.
In testing the outlet the black(hot) wire hit the side of the outlet box. It sparked and I immediately turned off the circuit.
In and around the same time that this happened (I cannot be certain the above caused the below but most likely it did).
I have a 100AMP box that runs 7 15amp circuits to my room (6K watts plus lots of heaters). Of the 7 circuits, 4 of them seem to be dead or not working. I tried turning the breakers on and off but they never came back on. Oddly 3 seem to be working fine.
Does anybody have any insight on what I might have done????? I would like to get my circuits working as soon as possible so life can go on and I don't want this to be a big ordeal and I don't know any electricians who I can show my space too.
Your insight is appreciated.
