I found the problem that lit my polarity indicator. I was using a 12 gauge cord at my home to power a split 20 amp box. I started at the cord and found 110vac between black and green but surprise....I also found 47vac between white and ground. Boy was I baffled. Looked over at the garage wall outlet and saw that the cord was not fully seated in the outlet. Pushed it in and the 47vac was gone. All well now but still trying to figure where the neutral got that 47 volts.
