RE: All can be answered with......

Manny,

Normal convention for an IEC socket is with the orientation shown, Hot (or Line) should be the tab in the 9:00 position. Ground at 6:00, and Neutral (or common) at 3:00.

You should get 120v between Hot and Ground, and 120v between Hot and Neutral. You should not be getting more than residual voltage between Neutral and Ground (like the .717 volts you're seeing). Sounds to me like PE is actually Hot, and p is ground from what you're measuring. Assume you have a fuse in the tray?
