What happens here

After the outlets are installed and covered, the electrician flips the circuit breaker ON in the electrical panel. He then uses a Klein Tools electrical outlet tester to verify that both outlets are receiving power (indicated by a green light) and that the voltage is approximately 120 volts. This confirms the successful installation and proper functionality of the new electrical outlets.

Goal: Verify the functionality and safety of the newly installed outlets.

What they say

groundfall circuit interrupter. And the second outlet was just a normal outlet because all outlets in a garage need to be GFCI protected, guys. So, after I put on the outlet covers, I flipped the circuit breaker on, checked to see I got the green light in 120 volts, and boom, guys, now we can celebrate. Customer is satisfied. And that is what a day in the life of an electrician looks like.
