Default Wiring Question Phanton Power when switch off

If it is phantom voltage being measured by a sensitive meter, you
can often prove it by measuring voltage between your left hand and
your right hand. They can be that sensitive.


I had disconected the string of lights and thats when I show the 67
volts. I just hooked up the lights and measured the voltgage and it
was 32 volts when the lights were hooked up. Once again this is in the
off position not just the dimmer being set to low. The dimmer has a
rocker switch and a slider. These voltgages are coming with the rocker
switch in the off position


IGNORE THE METER READING!

The meter is lying.

What you see is a phantom.

Working voltage does not exist.

Forget about it.

If the meter doesn't read 120 then the actual voltage is zero.
