I added a outside ground fault receptical to a shed that already had an older panel with 2 60 amp barrel fuse circuits. Below them were 4 30 amp fuses with 2 circuits in operation for lights.
Long before I added the new receptical, I was able to run a planer, chop saw, sawsall and other power tools without any problems off the existing circuits. The new receptical is 2 feet from the panel
First I installed the added receptical using vacant screws in the panel. Voltage drop ensued.
Next I disconnected old circuitry and connected new circuit nstill boltage drop.
Finally I changed groubd fault receptical to a common duplex outlet. Still voltage drop and unable to get proper power to run a 7 1/4” skill saw, or chop box
I’m at a loss. Could the ground at the meter have gone bad?
