2020年8月24日 · When a ground wire is hot, the connection between the hot wire and the ground wire has been reversed or crossed. This means the hot wire is connected where the ground wire should be connected, and the ground is connected when it should actually be the hot instead. What would cause a ground wire to be hot? There are several reasons why a ground ...

2022年2月16日 · Most of the time, however, the Hot and Ground Reverse situation will present itself as a compound problem. 2.1 - Check Local Outlets A Hot and GND reverse situation will become a possibility as—for whatever reason—the Neutral side of a circuit becomes disconnected at an outlet or upstream from the outlet getting tested.

2023年3月31日 · Still two outlets showing hot/ground reverse and two of them are completely out. I also checked the 2 light switches on the circuit. They all looked fine as well (and I tightened them down). A relevant piece of information: when the circuit went out, it had just been subject to too high a load (a paint sprayer and a heater at the same time).

2018年1月22日 · Electrical - AC & DC - Hot and Ground Reversed. ALL of a sudden - Existing circuit working fine until suddenly the lights on that circuit turn off. Circuit tester showing hot and ground reversed in an outlet on that same circuit. Then a while later the lights are back on and testing shows all is proper. Breaker is

2017年4月17日 · Plugging in a tester showed Hot-Ground reversed. After working fine for two weeks. Plugged the tester into each outlet until I found a working one. Opened the first failing one, straightened the wires and everything's fine. I'm guessing when I crammed everything into the wall, the ground was nearly touching either the hot or neutral.

2021年9月11日 · I am aware that "hot ground reverse" typically actually means open neutral and ground electrified by something else closing the circuit, except that doesn't square with all working receptacles. But I've also confirmed the tester is wrong both by using it elsewhere and using a bulb probe tester, and accepted the given answer accordingly.

2017年10月9日 · Electrical - AC & DC - Hot/Ground Reverse? - Tried tracing a problem in my home where electrical outlets and lights decided to stop working, checked breaker and seen nothing wrong, wasnt tripped. I buy a Socket Tester and all the problematic outlets came back as Hot/GRD Reverse. I never could trace the problem to

2019年5月23日 · "Hot/Ground Reversed" isn't testable without a third connection. There should be full voltage between hot and ground - if not then you have an open ground. If you put a meter between ground and a known-good ground (like a metal water pipe) and see full voltage then you really do have hot and ground reversed (and a major problem - call an ...

2024年1月23日 · What is more useful is the 3 lights. The center one connects hot-neutral. The red one connects neutral-ground. The yellow on the end connects hot-ground. When a neutral wire breaks, if there are any loads on the far side of the break, that means hot and neutral will be connected to each other via the load.

2018年9月15日 · Hot to ground was 120 volts. Hot to neutral was around 50-75 volts. When I just nutted the hots and neutrals together at the source box (bypassing the non-GFCI plug), the light switch box and GFCI box then were powered. And like the non-GFCI box, hot to neutral was like 50-75 volts, hot to ground was 120 volts in both boxes.
