Reversed Polarity Issues?
I ordered a simple voltage monitor for testing power supply at campgrounds. Reads voltage, and if there is correct polarity, or open ground.
My parents own part of a small lake, that they've made into a sort of private campground. They have electricity run there, with 3 different 30amp connections. Today I brought my TT there to have it ready for our annual 4th of July celebrations and decided to use my voltage monitor. Voltage was fine 120 volts reading, but it read reversed polarity on all 3 hookups. The lone 20 amp standard outlet read correct polarity.
We've had several RV'S connected there for 2 years. Never had an issue at all. My parents RV is there most the summer. My question is what sort of issues can reversed polarity cause? I'm hoping my voltage monitor isncorrect, because today we switched the hot and neutral wires on all the hookups so they now read correct polarity.
