Default Telephone Line, Red Wire, Ringing Voltage to Ground

Hi,

I have used a Fluke DMM with a Max/Min capture feature to measure the
ringing voltage, not only red to green, but also red to ground (and green to
ground).

To my surprise, the red wire to ground ringing voltage (some telephone
equipment on line) was 93.2 VAC !! The green wire to ground ringing voltage
was 36.4VAC. Note: Telephones are ringing.

Is this normal?

Thank You in advance, John
