Try neutral to ground. That should be 0 or more likely very low voltage. Dale Leavens, Cochrane Ontario Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype DaleLeavens Come and meet Aurora, Nakita and Nanook at our polar bear habitat.

Will be a little guessing work on my part, but I don't have to wait for eyes now when i do more wiring.

Similarly, though ground should be at the same potential as the white neutral, there can actually be quite a difference, 30 volts. Hot to ground though won't ever be that low. It is too bad that no one makes an audible polarity tester for outlets.

Now what to do with the darn thing. i mainly got it to test the heating mats I am putting under my tile. if I don't test them at several points during the install, the warranty is void. How would I test an outlet to make sure I got the hot on the right screw? i am sure I will think of many many uses for it.
