AC polarity


AC plugs have a wide blade and narrow blade, plus middle ground contact. Should AC hot(black) got to the wide blade recptacle contact or narrow? I want to check my AC for improper conection, which may also cause circuitous grounding.

Dear Jkubina, The black, AC hot wire goes to the narrow blade. There are neat test plugs available for testing. I believe Radio Shack and Hardware stores sell these. cordially, richard.....
