will have a green triangle on them, but are not necessarily orange in color,
all the ones in the upstairs of my house are white. If I tried to install
orange recpts anywhere but the basement/garage, my wife would have killed
me!
Could be ground issues, I use hospital grade AC
cords and they have a
funny link in the ground wire as well and clear plastic so I can see
its status.
Hospital grade receptacles will almost always have a green dot on their
face somewhere. Many of the receptacles will also be red in color. You'll
also often see isolated ground receptacles in hospital applications, and
those are always bright orange.
