What is the visual difference if any between the hot and neutral side of a duplex outlet?
On the reverse termination points, the "hot" wire connects to the brass coloured screw and the neural wire connects to the silver coloured screw.
The U shaped opening is for the ground blade and the reverse side, the green coloured screw is where the ground wire of the circuit connects.
What else can I help you with?
How many volts are in a duplex?
A duplex outlet is 115vac.
What is the definition of duplex outlet?
Electrical wall outlet having two plug receptacles.
What color of wires are found on a 120 volt duplex poutlet?
A 120 volt duplex outlet is the main type of outlet for residential outlet system. The wires are typically white and black, and there should only be two of them.
What are the colors of the wires on a duplex outlet?

What is a duplex socket outlet?
A duplex socket outlet is a type of electrical outlet that features two sockets in a single unit. This design allows two devices to be plugged in at the same time, making it convenient for powering multiple devices in one location.
What difference between 13Ampere socket outlet and 15Ampere socket outlet?
2 Amp
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
What is manometric head?
it is the pressure difference between inlet and outlet of pump.
On a standard three prong AC outlet what should the AC voltage measure between neutral and ground?
Zero, or very close to it. If there is a large neutral current flowing, voltage drop on the neutral leg could cause a volt or so to read between the two. If you read full line voltage, the outlet is wired wrong!
How can I put a 240 v outlet in your attach garage on the party wall of my duplex?
Call an electrician.
What is the difference between a line and load outlet?
A line outlet is where the electrical power enters a device, while a load outlet is where the power exits the device to be used.
When you test the outlet you get no current between power and neutral but you get it between power and ground?
There is an open circuit on neutral. You should have power between hot and neutral, as well as between hot and ground. Note well, however, that you should not pull any power between hot and ground, because ground is not intended to be a current carrying conductor - it is only there as a protective earth ground in the case of fault. You can not easily tell, at the outlet, if neutral and ground is reversed - you need to pull a load and then double check with a clamp on ammeter at the distribution panel.
