wingfoot Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I ran across something odd today on a new construction inspection and wanted to see if anyone had this happen before. I was testing a Jacuzzi tub duplex receptacle for GFCI protection with the pump running and I plugged in the lower outlet with my receptacle tester and got an open hot reading. I then moved the plug into the lower outlet and my tester to the upper outlet and got the same reading. I went and got my digital multi-meter to check the voltage and got less than a volt reading on it. Now I am really confused, so I plugged the pump back in and it ran it as I did before and I let it run for 10 minutes like I normally do and went back and plugged the tester back in and got the 2 yellow lights for a normal reading. I came back a few minutes later to check again and got the open hot reading again, unbelieveable. By now I had burned enough time messing with it, so I installed access panel and moved on. Has anyone had anything like this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Nope, Now, about that electric head scratcher. Was it a portable model or a fixed model. I like the fixed models with the deep rub cycle. OT - OF!!! [] M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
