Ground fault circuit interrupter miswiring prevention device

A method for indicating reverse wiring for an interrupter device comprising the steps of:

• a) inserting the conductive prongs of a simple add-on electro-mechanical device into openings of a receptacle of an interrupter device;
• b) depressing a test button on said interrupter device with the button on said electro-mechanical device;
• and
• c) indicating when said interrupter device is reverse wired with a load connected to line terminals of said interrupter device and a source of power connected to load terminals of said interrupter device by electrically connecting an indicator means between phase and neutral lines of said interrupter device.

A method for indicating reverse wiring for an interrupter device comprising the steps of:

• a) inserting the conductive prongs of a simple add-on electro-mechanical device having conductive and non-conductive prongs into openings of a first of two receptacles of an interrupter device;
• b) inserting the non-conductive prongs of said device into openings of a second of said two receptacles;
• c) causing a button on said device to depress a test button on said interrupter device;
• d) installing said interrupter device with said device in place on said interrupter device;
• e) applying power to said interrupter device;
• and
• f) indicating when said interrupter device is reverse wired with a load connected to line terminals of said interrupter device and a source of power connected to load terminals of said interrupter device by electrically connecting an indicator means between phase and neutral lines of said interrupter device.
