I wish the voltage detector sensed earth. I had the wire up a 3/2 receptacle adapter with a five foot wire soldered onto the metal tab that the attachment screw goes through
See the metal tab on the bottom. The one with the hole?
It's connected to the ground terminal of the adapter.
If a long wire is attached that can reach a cement floor or tile over cement floor...
An aggressive alligator clip can be soldered onto the floor end of this wire.
The alligator clip clutches a coin, placed on the floor.
A thick wad of sopping wet toilet paper (from the sink, dummy) is slopped atop the coin and dampened every several hours.
I shorted 15-amps through this circuit and it worked fine.
The building or structure must be concrete and/or have a concrete slab floor for this to work.
But it provides an earth ground for sensitive electronics. Bare feet and two prong receptacles do not like each other. Staying in a hotel down here, it's either this, or nothing.
