can this be used behind a duplex plug which has only neutral, ground and hot?

If you can identify the ground , then you should be able to connect to the ground terminal of the device and the other to the hot terminal. To be sure you must read the instructions supplied. You also may inquire the Internet for the pdf instructions or look up for an Aeon Labs customer toll free number.

Maybe I'm missing the question but you only should have Neutral, Ground and Hot coming into a plug anyway. But yes, I've got it on the beginning of a run for my home theatre center so I can both track the power consumption of the "entertainment system" in my living room and also with the ability to shut it off when needed from remote. Works good. 14 g wire is the highest it will work with though, so if you are on a 20 amp circuit or an overbuilt 15 amp then you will need to do some creative wire nutting.

Yes you can do that. You will need a splitter and it needs to be a "DC pass" type. You will end up with an extra power plug and injector.

No, but there is typically no need. A surge protector anywhere on the circuit protects that entire circuit. So unless you have the duplex spilt into two circuits (common on newer washer and dryer outlets) there will be no need for two in the same outlet.

All kidding aside, if you really want to do that, you better use a GFCI outlet. (GFCI = ground fault current interrupter)

Probably. It depends on how far and how insulated the wires are between the switch and the breaker box. I've found that on longer runs, the tones generated by this device just aren't "loud" enough to make it easy to find which wire it leads to on the other side. Unless your house is huge, you'll probably be ok.

Yes if you connect only the line and neutral to the unit and unit is not grounded in through its mounting. I mounted this unit in a car, which is obviously not connected to the earth ground because of the tires. During a power outage, I plug a 10AWG extension cord into the unit. The line and neutral of the extension cord are wired to a power transfer switch (not the ground wire as mentioned earlier). I have powered the house this way without tripping the CFCI outlet on the unit.

Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work as described on a 2-wire 220 circuit. That is, unless you use the bare ground as a neutral, and that isn't really too Kosher, although logically I don't know why. It would be nice to see what my submersible well pump, window mount A/C unit and air compressor are using.

No, but if one unit is plugged into the lower outlet of a duplex wall socket, another cord can be plugged in above. One could plug a short power strip into just one unit. Or, a very short cord, such as used to connect power supplies to a power strip, could connect the second unit to the duplex. I have just done both.

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

It will "work" (transmit power from one side to the other), but I'm not sure if it still works as a "ground fault interrupter" (what you bought it for). I would think (but don't know) that it would still do the job if you only have 3 prong wires "from" the GFI (since the interruption occurs inside the device). Mine is used to protect an above ground pool pump (critical service), and I use grounded wiring on both sides of the GFI (since my Grandchildren use that pool).

yes you really should ground the system otherwise you will have a floating neutral situation which is not very good for most power sensitive appliances etc.

You would still need to ground it separately. Usually you can find a suitable ground very close to the fuse box.

We used this on a double outlet and it works very well. We used a triple switch plate cover with a blank.

I don't think so. But I am not sure since I have only used it as a plug in.

Yes,it has one 120V duplex outlet consisting of two sockets or plug in´s.you can plug two plugs in at one time.

this is setup to center over a duplex wall plug. It has an active grounded plug and a plastic alignment plug on the back. Remove the plate screw place from the duplex wall plug, plug the 360 onto the duplex and screw the 360 into place to stabilize it on the wall.

I did install it with a neutral and I do not know if it would work without one. I am sorry for not being of much help!
