Donald and Hunter

Its called an a/c outlet analyser or polarity tester (for crying out loud). I have the same yellow one you have Donald, made by Calterm. Very useful, but since I had to get it out to check the name, I tested my sockets and get 'open neutral'. Curses, one more thing to worry about.

Ah! The wonders of a scanner! Anybody know what an 'open neutral' is? An Agnostic Swiss Liberal or something?

Hunter, head back to WalMart--at least our local store has them, whatever they are called. Yellow, with 3 little dingie lights in a left to right row--green yellow and red? Color is not important. The code is printed on the yellow 3 prong plug in. If all 3 light up, you're OK; if a certain one is out you have a ground fault. Another combination indicates reverse polarity, etc. etc. They are also available at RV supply stores. About 1 1/2 inches wide, maybe 2 1/2 inches long, 3/4 inch thick.
