Re: Electrical Problem, or no?
Thank you all for your helpful responses. The issue has been found and corrected. On the female end of my shoreline, the ground was missing one side of the two contacts. (Must have fatigued and broken off over time.) So when I tested my shoreline with the meter, everything was appearing fine because the probe was still making contact, but when plugged into the camper, it wasn't "sandwiching" the male-side ground prong, thus creating a bad ground (connection was too loose).321Views0likes0CommentsElectrical Problem, or no?
I recently plugged a 'test plug' into an outlet in my Class A, and it reported an open-ground (on shoreline power). Yet, when I unplugged the shoreline and started my generator, the test plug then indicated a correct outlet. Shutting down the generator and going back to shoreline, it went back to an open ground. So I did some more testing with my meter at the breaker panel. Measuring from any breaker hot to the neutral block was 120v. But measuring from any breaker hot to the ground block was only 60v (on shoreline power). Switched to generator power, and had readings of 120v from both hot to neutral and hot to ground. Why is this? And is this normal?2.8KViews0likes10Comments
