Ok, so I have a sub panel installed in my house currently for a hot tub. There is a 50 amp breaker in a box connected directly to the electrical meter outside the house. Previously that breaker was connected to another box near the hot tub with a 4 wire romex cord. I disconnected the 4 wire Romex from the box that is connected directly to the meter. Then I ran a 3 wire romex from the box which is connected to the meter, to another 70 amp box. In the 70 amp box I wired 2 20 amp breakers (each with 2 switches/2 screw connections). I attached a load center with 2 outlets (I bought the gfi type).
I got everything hooked up and I am not getting power. I use an electricity tester and it says that there is power coming to the outlet but when I plug in the diagnostic tester shows the code for "Open hot".
Did I fuck up by using 3 wire romex instead of 4 or did I get the wrong type of breakers(2 switch/2 screw instead of 2 switch one screw? In the end I need 2 120v circuts (one on each 20 amp). Sorry if this is confusing but I am not an electrictian (obviously) so I really dont know all the technical terms. Also I have pice but I cant upload them from this cpu so I will post them tonight. Thanks
