Check Sockets for Improper Wiring and Faulty Ground!
Electric sockets can be bad for a number of reasons: a wire can short or fray, a wire can become disconnected, or corrode at the contact, or the wires can be connected to the wrong contact altogether!
These problems can be a fire hazard, a shock hazard, a problem for polarized appliances, and definitely a problem if you are using the socket’s ground connection to ground your grounding tools.
It is so easy to test for proper wiring at a socket. Simply plug in the tester and look at the result. Instantly identifies if your outlet is properly grounded and ready to ground your indoor grounding tools, as well as identifying most common wiring errors.
Lights up automatically -- simply plug it in and read the results -- display clearly indicates 6 common wiring conditions with the wiring condition legend easily visible right on the tester.
Easy to see LEDs light up to indicate all these possible problems:
- Correct, Safe Ground, as well as:
- Disconnected Ground
- Disconnected Neutral
- Disconnected Hot
- Interchanged Neutral and Hot
- Interchanged Ground and Hot
