    No power to garage.

    When I replaced the blown fuses I now have no electric to my detachaed garage.
    I used my meter but could not find any active current.

    The main electric source is from the house in an conduit to the garage. It has 3 large black wires which have wrapped wires in each.

    How can I check to see if the line's 3 large ones have current.[/i]

    I checked the main panel in the house and everything in the panel has current. But I have no current going to the garage.

    May I suggest that you call an electrician. Main panel work can be very deadly.

    donf,
    Thank You for your help! :D
    I took your advice and called an electrician.
    It was my doing, I had a couple of wires in the wrong place.:eek:
    I did not pay close attention or did not take a picture with my digital camera before so much a removing a screw.:mad:
