Why do I get a Reverse Polarity Error when testing my Isolation Ground Panel Neutral with a Woodhead Receptacle Tension Tester?
Issue:
Reverse Polarity Error
Product Line:
Isolation Ground Panel
Environment:
Troubleshooting
Resolution:
Testing the polarity on the outlets with a normal receptacle tester only works with regular AC (with Neutral). Isolated Panels do not actually have a Neutral, so it is normal to get a bad reading with this type of tester and therefore, this is not a valid test.
