[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 57331, member: 277"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices Ahh. So that is what happened. 2 open neutrals, 1 dead Crown K1 and 1 dead Crown Macrotech 2400. The moral of this story....METER EVERY SOCKET EVERY TIME NO EXCEPTIONS. Just because the uniformed "house electrician" for a large mall comes and turns the pavillion power on and says everything is good does not mean anything. I knew better and it bit me. The little $5 socket tester will show an open neutral. I carry that and a Fluke 77 so I have no excuses. This is a mistake even a beginner shouldn't have to make. [/QUOTE]
