#asknostr
In this apartment in Montreal the washer will run all the way through with no problems IF the lights in the apartment are on. If the lights are off, the washer will flip its breaker. The lights & washer are not on the same breaker.
I have built houses & am familiar with residential wiring. I cannot fathom how this is possible. I did not believe it until I saw it repeated consistently many times. Part of me still doesn't fully believe it because it makes no sense to me. But maybe there is something wildly different about commercial wiring?
