Furman polarity?


I have two Furman RI 1220 line conditioners which I bought at different times. I happened to check one of the outlets with a circuit tester. The hot and neutral are reversed on all the outlets. The same goes for the second Furman. I would like to hear from anyone with any information. Also if any other balanced Furman models have the same reversal. Thank you in advance.

Well, BALANCED is 60 volt hot and 60 volt neutral.
So the actual result would be 120 between the two, or 60 hot to ground, and 60 volts neutral to ground.
If you are using some inexpensive 'checker' it make just not work on balanced outlets.
ALL USA "BALANCED" power is 60 volts/60 volts.

The issues of balanced power are complicated enough that it is illegal to have it in the walls of a residence per codes.
In industrial uses, it has to be clearly marked as balanced on every outlet.

Both of my power conditioners are outputting balanced A/C.
