The product, in the report: Multi plug 120 volt power strip
I am a certified marine electrician and I was performing an electrical safety check on a vessel located at the marina at Patrick Air Force Base. When I tested the polarity of a 120 volt outlet on an on-board power strip my tester indicated reverse polarity (hot and neutral wires reversed). I unpluged the power strip and tested the outlet directly and found the outlet was wired correctly.
I suspected the wiring of the power strip to be incorrect. I opened the sealed strip and found that the unit’s white neutral wire is incorrectly soldered to the small terminal on the plug and the black hot wire is soldered to the longer of the terminals. This is completely backwards based on NFPA Electrical Code and is in fact very dangerous, especially aboard a boat.
