Lesson: Testing Electrical Outlets


Testing Three-Slot Outlets

Step 1: Check that the voltage tester works (as in the two-slot outlet directions). Turn off the power. Place one probe in one receptacle opening; place the other first on the green screw, then in the other receptacle opening, one at a time. Repeat this for each receptacle opening. The tester should not light in any combination.
