Ok, so here’s a lesson in the obvious.
Earlier today, I switched the power back on to two new outlets I wired up a few weeks ago. One of them being the Leviton Duplex Surge Protection Receptacle. This is for the new plasma I’m installing in the Library. The receptacles were not installed into the junction boxes yet and I tested them with an outlet tester. The tester read, “Open Ground”. After about an hour of running back and forth to the internet and to the main switch downstairs I figured out that once you screw the receptacle into the box, it is grounded.
Mystery solved! I’m such an idiot sometimes.
