Not being a electrician I have a question.
Our companies "handyman" set up some outlets in the new photo studio. As soon as I plugged in my photo lights they would not go on, it seems they Both shorted out at the same time??????? I took my multi-tester to check the outlets. I get 119v from the large slot (neutral) to the small slot (power), also 119 from the small slot (Power) to the u shaped ground, But I also get 119V from the large slot (neutral) to the ground? I know believe neutral to ground should give me no voltage, am I correct. |
