This problem seems to defy all logic.

** The reading is normal.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what could be going on here?


** There is about 100pF of capacitance from primary to secondary.

The primary winding is all at 120V AC since the neutral end is not
onnected - due to corroded wire, open thermal fuse etc .

The meter has a 10Mohm input impedance.
