Well, as many of you may have suspected.... the culprit of all of this was a 16 gauge 100' extension cord rated for 10A.

I replaced the 16 gauge cord with a 12 gauge 15A 100' cord.

Immediately, my initial post about the reverse polarity reading on my surge protector disappeared & showed two green lights indicating everything is perfect.

Also, my low voltage reading when initially plugging into 15A house power are no longer present.

It was all in the cord.

Thanks to everyone who helped & made suggestions. Problem solved.

I had the exact same problem one time and this is what it was. The ends to the cord had been replaced and wired opposite.
