I have 3 receptacles on an individual circuit. I shall call them R1, R2, and R3. R1 is closest to the panel and R3 is the furthest away.
Wiring is #12 with a wire EGC in 1/2" EMT. Routing is from SQ QO 208Y/120 panel on a GFCI breaker to R1 first, then R2, then R3.
Panel power is supplied from a generator inlet connected to a power cord off a bussbar connection.
R1 shows a false/bootleg ground condition with Suretest 61-164 tester, R2 and R3 show correct.
2 brand new 61-164 testers show this condition. Older 61-154 model says wiring is correct.
GFCI breaker test button works and all testers trip the GFCI correctly. Yes, I know that GFCI does need a ground to work.
All wiring checked and is correct.
Any ideas? The QA guys are busting my chops and I am at a loss. I have this condition on 6 installs.
