Autoformer Voltage Booster Question
I have a 30amp Franks Voltage Booster that I don't need anymore. When I plugged it in I got an incorrect indicator light (it said there was reverse polarity when there wasn't). Can it be fixed or do...

Seems odd. How did you verify polarity? 30/15 adapter with a 3-light tester?
I have a Frank's and I was not even aware that polarity check was an option.
And yes Frank's is long out of business.
Egg Zactly as they say.
That is the easy way to do it. If you want the hard way (A volt meter) that too can be done
Reverse polarity: What it means
On a 2-wire AC circuit (Say a fan with a plastic body and a 2 wire cord) absolutely nothing
But on a 3 wire "hot/Neutral/Ground". it means hot and neutral have been swapped.
I know of no way that the device can give a false indication UNLESS the plug or cord has been replaced.
But it is easy to wire the outlet that way.
