Hi All,

I just installed a ceiling light in my kitchen, and now I measure a
47V (AC) difference between the light's ground wire and its neutral
wire. Is this normal, or could the ground wire be floating?

Thank you,

No, that is certainly not normal. Check the neutral and ground
connections in the panel, as well as anything that uses those horrible
spring loaded push-in terminals, those are notorious for developing bad
connections, IMO they ought to be banned.

Does any device use push ins for ground? I have not seen any (that
doesn't mean they don't exist, I'm asking an honest question)
