What is reverse polarity also known as, reverse polarity is also known as opposite polarity, inverted polarity, backwards polarity, swapped polarity, and incorrect polarity, all describing condition where positive and negative or hot and neutral are swapped opposite of correct. In AC wiring, reverse polarity is also known as reversed hot and neutral, hot neutral reverse, or swapped polarity, with outlet tester labeling as reverse polarity. In DC circuits, reverse polarity also known as backwards battery, inverted battery, or wrong polarity. In automotive, reverse polarity also known as reverse battery connection or swapped terminals. In electronics, reverse polarity also known as reverse voltage or inverse polarity. So reverse polarity also known as opposite polarity, inverted polarity, swapped polarity, and incorrect polarity, with terms meaning same condition of polarity being backwards, with some contexts using specific terms like reverse voltage for DC, and hot neutral reverse for AC outlets, with all terms indicating polarity opposite to intended correct polarity, requiring correction to prevent malfunction, damage, and safety hazard, with reverse polarity protection also called reverse voltage protection, with terminology varying by field but meaning swapped polarity.
