I just moved into a new place (my first home purchase!) and am psyched to start setting up the garage area. The footprint is roughly 20x40' and a significant section of wall area is also concrete. I'm leaning towards applying an epoxy coating on the floor, likely from one of the forum sponsors...

Got it working! I checked continuity in various routes as suggested (those out of the 50a breaker and those for some odd reason routed to ground) and figured out the wires on the breaker weren't even connected to the 240v receptacle in the garage. Turned off the main power and did some stripping...

At the two pole breaker the wires do read 240v across. Signal tracer sounds like a great idea! Perhaps it might also be worth me checking for continuity to make sure the wires out of the breaker are actually the same ones going to the receptacle. I have a note out to the previous owners to try...

Looked around for another subpanel, couldn't find any. Went back through the seller's inspection report as well as the one we had done and it looks like they are all accounted for. It's possible the older subpanel (outside) feeds the dryer receptacle, since that's right on the border between new...

I only see a single two-pole breaker set (50a) in the panel. All the other breakers are 20a or lower. Half the set routes out a red wire, and the other half a black. 240v measured between them, and 120v measured between either black or red and ground. I'm assuming the back and red must be...

I did pull the receptacles out from the wall and measured voltage across the wires themselves. Still read 0v. I also tried other 110v outlets just to be sure the MM was working. Good thought though...

Just moved into a new house and finding out that both 240V outlets (one in the house for a dryer and one in the garage for compressor, etc.) are showing 0V in any combination of multimeter tests. But measuring voltage across the black/red wires out of the 50A two-pole breaker at the panel shows...
