I went into a house today and my little plug in said I had a Hot and Ground Reversed. I popped open the box and took a look. Black to copper and white to silver. Everything OK there. Ground was present,terminated correctly and not touching the hot.
My question is what is hot and ground reversed?
I would think if the hot and ground were reversed either the fuse would be popping or there would be some sparks flying?
Below is what I found on another site lol.
An installer would have to be drunk to do this. This could only happen on a circuit with just one receptacle; otherwise, the breaker would immediately trip. Assuming the one receptacle, it's a potentially lethal situation. If an appliance like a clothes washer or electric drill is plugged in, its frame will be hot and will shock anyone that touches it.
Anybody ever see this? Suggestions?
