    What could cause my lights to be dim and 2 of 3 220volt circuits not work?
    Today I got home my lights seem dim and 2 out of my 3 220volt circuits stopped working. The breakers seem to work fine. What could cause me to only lose some 220 and possibly have dimmer lights? When I went to work all was normal and when I got home it wasn't.

    First check with the incoming power, you may have lost one of the two legs. Your power company should check this at no charge
