    At work we've got an 8 panel single string set up, going into a 3000w inverter via a double pole DC isolator. The AC goes supply > isolator > meter > inverter.

This happened within a few minutes of me turning off...

    Why neutral and hot reversed only when a/c is turned on?

    I have tenants that have 3 fairly new small a/c units all the same and when any of them are turned on my tester reads hot & neutral reversed. The 15 amp circuit that feeds these units has no ground wire. Is this normal or could these a/c units be wired wrong from the factory?

    Noise in wall when switch is turned off

    I replaced a switch and box that feeds a bathroom ceiling fan. Now there is a click in the wall 6 feet away when I turn the switch off. It doesn't happen everytime. What is causing this and how did it result from a simple switch replace?
