Hello. I have a rather peculiar issue involving the reverse polarity light on my Blue Sea AC distribution panel.
Reverse polarity light is faint (but lighted) when shore power is plugged in and the AC switch is off. Meter on the AC panel also reads around 35-40 volts AC.
HOWEVER, when I turn the AC switch on the reverse polarity light is off and I read nominal voltage (~120 VAC).
I plugged in a polarity tester to all my AC outlets and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I checked the wiring at the AC panel and all looks good--neutral, hot, and ground are wired correctly.
This has happened at three marinas. Perhaps my Blue Sea panel is defective?
