1. Find the Main Feed Wires
You can normally find your main electrical panel
inside your home on the other side of the wall
from your electric utility meter. You may also
follow the conduit from your utility meter. In many
cases it is located in the garage, utility room,
laundry room or hallway inside your home. If you
live in an apartment, it may be in the kitchen, a
utility closet or hallway.
Remove the outside cover from your electrical
panel and locate the main feed wires. You should
find up to four feed wires entering your main
electrical panel: two black wires, one white wire
and one green wire (there may not always be a
green or bare ground wire). The two black wires
(or sometimes one black and one red) are the live
wires feeding the panel, these are the wires used
to measure the power being used in your home
or business.
