How could a meter be red as a ground and a hot is reversed? With a digital multimeter I checked all outlets and switches in house and found that two outlets and one switch read as the connections are reversed even though they are not physically;I read 0 VAC between hot and neutural and 120 VAC between hot and ground, or neutural and ground.

I also found that there is no voltage on other four outlets and I think they are different problem that I have to troulbleshoot later.

P.S.: I found there is no problem in circuit breaker that is located outside.

In advance, thank you for your help.

James
