Or a boot-leg or false ground where the neutral is jumped to the ground screw.
Those three light testers make good night lites, they really should not be used for *PROFESSIONAL* work being done by *PROFESSIONALS* - those are for DIY homeowners.
Use them for what they are intended to be used for - night lites.
PROFESSIONALS use PROFESSIONAL equipment, and those 3 for 10 buckaroos nite lites are not professional equipment.
I tried to avoid going there, and avoided going there in my first response by answering Reggie's question, however, being as those 3 light testers are being promoted for HI use, I had to respond.
If you are a PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTOR ... PUT DOWN THAT 3 LITE NITE LITE ... NOW BACK AWAY FROM IT ... slowly, do not be afraid ... there, that was not so bad, was it?
