Figure 10-2. Typical alternate outlet tester
No outlet tester can detect the condition where the Neutral
(grounded supply) conductor and the Grounding (protective
earth) conductor are reversed. If later tests indicate high leakage
currents, this should be suspected as a possible cause and the
outlet wiring should be visually inspected.
