       @while1malloc0Luckily 22.5 volt and 67 volt radio batteries are uncommon nowadays.  @freeformz @crumbcake

       @crumbcake This is literally how @electroboomguy tests GFCIs in hotels lately... except that he uses a resistor instead.If he gets shocked, the power is on. Good. Otherwise fix that first.If nothing happens, there's floating ground.If the resistor starts smoking and he burns his hand, there is no GFCI.If the power turns off, there is GFCI.

       @crumbcake they do make devices that you can plug into an outlet that both show via lights if everything is connected properly (and if not how it is wrong) and that can safely connect live to ground to test if the gfci works xP

       @zuthal @crumbcake Note that without GFCI, these things still can't distinguish neutral from ground.And with GFCI at the breaker, no one confuses neutral and ground ;)
