How to test the various outlets we might find in any RV park - or wherever?
Some You Tube videos show using different makes of the no contact testers. But if we are out in the field we need to know which slot in the outlet should be hot and which should not. We need to know hot, neutral and ground.
I tried to find a video demonstration of different outlets but could not. So some videos give some ideas and then I found a Woodall's forum that had pictures showing where the hot, neutral and ground SHOULD be on each type outlet.
I have to wonder about the "proximity" tester that was held a foot away and how it detected voltage from that distance. Using one of these testers I can plug into hot and see there is voltage and then plug into the neutral or ground and hopefully see no voltage. So how can a tester be held a foot away?
Anyway, there are videos to show testers and using them and then pictures of 50 amp, 30 amp, and 20 amp outlets that show what each slot should be. Hopefully, some of this will help you to know how to use one of these testers.
