Open Neutral 30 amp service
I have been running on solar/battery and inverter for about two weeks now with no issues. Last night i plug into 30 amp outlet on park pedestal and the tv would not run. I use the plug tester to check...

Thank you for the replies. Automatic transfer switch connections have been checked. No on-board generator. One side of the transfer switch comes from 2000 watt PSW inverter, the other side comes from the 30 amp service cord plugged into a generator or park pedestal when needed. The transfer switch feeds the 120 VAC electrical panel. Again, all connections at the transfer switch and 120 VAC panel are tight.
Could not rule out park pedestal. For testing i used the plug tester with lights and my volt meter. put one probe in the neutral side and one probe in the hot side. I removed the Marinco twist lock female plug end and trimmed wires back and re-attached to cord. The male end is on tight also. Checked for continuity of each (grnd, Hot, Neutral)leg of the 30 amp cord. All is good. Not sure how to check the actual plug ends to see if they are making good connection.
Did i mention that i dislike plugging into park power? Again, thank you.
