I’ve been running conduit on my last job and I’m pretty proud of this one ☝️. I managed to do all in one piece and I didn’t use any coupling! 😮‍💨😎🥸

Computer keeps tripping breaker help?
I recently moved into a new apartment and I plugged in my computer l, monitor, and modem to the outlets. But when I start up my computer, after a minute or when I try to log into windows, the breaker trips.

I have a backup APC which prevents the computer from just shutting down. The APC says the outlet is 120v. The APC is saying that the load the idle computer is drawing + the monitor is around half after the breaker triggers and it switched to battery. The APC is rated to 810w output on battery only so the load from the computer and monitor should be around 405w when idle. This is still tripping the breaker. Is this breaker too small for this load? Do I need to move to a new apartment to be able to usey computer?

Any help would be appreciated.

Key Elements of the Wiring Setup:
1️⃣ Main Panel (With Disconnect)

Incoming power is connected to the main panel.
The neutral bus (bar) is bonded to the panel.
The equipment ground connects to a ground rod or water pipe for safety.
The main breaker (200A in this case) regulates power distribution.
2️⃣ New Sub-Panel Setup

The neutral bus in the sub-panel is NOT bonded to the panel.
A separate ground bar is required in the sub-panel. This bar must be bonded to the panel to ensure proper grounding.
The ground and neutral must remain separate to prevent unwanted ground loops or electrical hazards.
3️⃣ Wiring Between Panels

Hot wires (red & black) carry power from the main panel to the sub-panel.
The neutral wire (white) connects the neutral bars but remains unbonded in the sub-panel.
The ground wire (green or bare copper) runs separately and bonds to the ground bar in the sub-panel.
Why This Wiring Setup Matters?
✅ Prevents ground loops by keeping neutral and ground separate in the sub-panel.
✅ Ensures proper fault protection by maintaining an independent ground path.
✅ Meets NEC (National Electrical Code) compliance for safe electrical installations.

⚠️ Important Note: When installing a sub-panel, always follow local electrical codes and consult a licensed electrician for verification.

A wiring setup for a light controlled by two switches, typically referred to as a three-way switch configuration. The bulb is connected at the top (8 and 9) with a neutral wire (10) going directly to the fixture. The hot line (L1) connects to the first switch (1 and 4) via a black wire, while travelers (red and black wires) run between the two switches (2, 3, 5, and 6). These traveler wires allow power to pass back and forth depending on the switch positions, enabling the light to be controlled from two locations. Proper wire connections, including the use of wire nuts (7 and 10) for insulation and secure junctions, are crucial for safe operation. The neutral wire provides a return path, completing the circuit. This configuration is common in staircases, hallways, or large rooms for convenience and flexibility. Always ensure grounding for safety.
