Nice photos.
However your 30 amp breaker is installed wrong.

It needs to be moved left one notch. Notice your red primary incoming wire (top left) has no destination.

I see that, ok, but my breakers have always been together. Rather than moving the breaker over to the left, should I not move the red wire over to the right somewhere?

Was it over to the right previously?

And why would you mention this?

Post a photo of your breaker cover plate.

I'll give you one more chance - but imo, you're either trolling something or you totally screwed up between previous installation and current installation; eg installation was not professional - and electrician missed the primary conductor on the right or... among other things - pumps work etc... no water thru pipes, etc... so you've got a 115 volt jet pump and 230 volt circ pump.

Post more specifics, or get a voltmeter, or get your electrician to double check this. I'm not going to tell you to do something like that in an online forum when the end result could land me in liability hell.

Again, if this was obvious to you, why didn't you question it when you posted the photos?

Based on the breaker cover plate, I cannot move the breaker to the left. I dont mean to agitate you or anyone else, but I am just trying to find a simple solution to this. I dont remember where any of the wires were before because I didnt take a photo, wish i did.

I didnt realize the red wire to the left was not directly connected to the breaker and I cannot move the breaker over because the plate wont fit then. There has got to be a simple inexpensive solution to this matter.


If anyone else knows please post, thanks.

Are you sure the cover-plate wasn't upside down or backwards?

Both breakers need to be moved over one spot to the left.

Alright here's the deal.
If you notice the scuff marks on the top right (the other L2) connector, you can probably figure out that's where the red line PROBABLY goes.

And if that's the case, then the electrician made a mistake.

Just move both breakers over one spot to the left- it will work also. No need to re-wire anything, although you might want to go that route so the cover plate fits without having to pop out another spacer.

Here is a pic of my main panel, the 50 amp breaker on the right is connected to the subpanel. You can see the Red, White, and Black wires. There is a copper wire that was not connected.
