Off topic-electrical problem

Friday, June 10 2005


I know this is not the place to post this, but I need help. Are there
any electricians on the list? I noticed something odd tonight. The
light on my circuit surge protector was blinking. How long is has been
doing that I don't know. My thought was the protector was bad, so I off
I went to buy another one. I plugged that one in and no green light came
on, just the red light. I thought I better check out the oulet. The
outlet is normal with to outlets. The ground in the center is supposed
to be neutral, correct? In otherwords if you take a VOM and go from one
side to the ground, you should get zero volts. Well, I get voltage going
from ground to one side. The other side I don't. Tomorrow I will call an
electrian. No circuit breakers have blown or anything, but something is
wrong. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
