Abstract
A device includes test transmitter having a hot test prong configured for electrical coupling the test transmitter with a hot line of an electrical circuit and signal generator, coupled to the hot test prong, configured to generate a ping signal on the hot line. The hot test prong is configured for insertion into a hot receptable of the electrical outlet. The ping signal is received over the hot line from a test transmitter coupled to the electrical circuit. The device includes a neutral receive prong configured for electrical coupling with a neutral line and a ground receive prong configured for electrical coupling with a ground line. The device may detect presence of the ping signal at the neutral receive prong when a reversed polarity wiring configuration exists and at the ground receive prong when a bootleg ground configuration exists.
