I was simplifying. Switching the nuetral and hot in a 110v AC system will not necessarily produce a major issue, however, many of the AC panels available now ave an indicater that lets you know if the recepticle is wired backwards. The warning light is labeled reverse polarity. I realize this is an incorrect term but just like "head", I am going with the terms in the brochure so we can all be on the same page.
As for where I started, Sean said in the first post that he was getting power through the cord to the recepticle. The weak link beyond this point is from the recepticle to the output of the breaker.
FWIW, both times the harbor maintenance people claimed the problem was that the nuetral wire had come loose and was making contact with the ground wire when my plugs failed. I suspect it was making contact, not with the ground, but with the hot. We have a very unique system here. zincs last about 6 months at best.
