If there is a ground wire there and it is attached it should read correct. It may also indicate that there is a loose or missing ground wire somewhere else in the circuit.

Installing arc fault interrupter with ground fault

If you meant arch fault with ground fault then no, the two types interfere with each other and trip the breaker as one senses an arch and the other grounding.
If you meant ground fault breaker with a GFCI. receptacle, you only need one of the two, either GFCI. breaker or receptacle.

and for circuits, you can put up to 12 devices (i.e receptacle, light)assuming they consume 1 amp each. Anything over 12 amps or 80% of the rating on the breaker, it will trip/reset.
Or if your talking about wires on a breaker then no more than 2 wires recommended. Try adding a junction box outside the panel if your trying to add other branch circuits or tap off of a receptacle.

Ground fault from box

In California It is code to have a ground fault receptacle where ever water is, Bathrooms, kitchen, laundry ect.
I have a older home that has 1ground fault for all receptacles located in the garage, so to update I have installed ground fault receptacles in all locations where water or dampness is present, even under the kitchen sink cabinets.

Cooper 274W Combination Device. Can the device be wired so that the sitch controls the recepticle?

Yes. For each half of the device there will be two terminals, plus one ground terminal. (total 5) For the receptacle, one terminal will be brass and the other will be silver. These two terminals will be on opposite sides of the receptacle, but both will be nearest the receptacle end. The other two terminals are for the switch, and their color is not important. You must place a jumper wire from the brass terminal of the receptacle to the nearest terminal of the switch. There might already be a tab connecting these two terminals together - if so, then you don't need the jumper, just tighten down these two screws. You will wire your incoming black wire to the other switch terminal. Your white wire goes to the remaining terminal which is for the receptacle and will be silver. Your ground wire goes to the green ground terminal. Good luck, Al K

L5-30 receptacle for built in vacuum. Receptacle has only 3 leads, one calling for the ground and another for the white. What about the 2 hots (red and black)?

The receptacle is for 120 volt 3 wire connection. The white and black wires would be connectyed to the screw terminals on the receptacle. the red would not be used in this case, just the black, white , and green.

Replacing a receptacle

As always when working with electricity, shut off the power. Use a circuit tester to make sure that the power is really off. Unscrew the receptacle's cover plate; be sure you get a replacement receptacle that's the correct type for your wiring?though most receptacles are standard, aluminum wiring should only be connected to receptacles designated CO-ALR. When installing the new receptacle, connect the black (hot) wire to the brass terminal screw, the white (neutral) wire to the silver screw, and the bare (ground) wire to the green ground screw. Unscrew the receptacle cover plate and unscrew the receptacle. Disconnect the wires from the terminals. Form a curl with a pair of needle-nose pliers so the wires hook clockwise around the screws, then tighten the terminal screws. Screw the receptacle to the box and add the cover plate.
