We have a Computer Power Center (PDU) where a contractor mistakenly terminated some 120 volt neutrals on the Isolated Ground Bar. This PDU monitors ground current and eventually alarmed at 10 amps. Every branch circuit is dedicated and terminates in a locking-type receptacle.
The receptacles were tested for correct polarity when installed. I tried using the Ideal SureTest? Circuit Analyzer's Ground Impedance feature and didn't see a "smoking gun" on a test circuit we deliberately mis-wired.
My question is: Are there any practical ways to field test a receptacle for a ?swapped? Neutral & Ground condition? Assume that it could be caused at the panel or the receptacle.
