120V between Neutral and Ground
I have been trying to trace down where a circuit starts showing
voltage between my ground wire and neutral wire. I found the a receptacle on the circuit that is correct where the neutral and ground show 0V, and then a box which I believe is the next receptacle that shows 120V between the ground and neutral. I have looked in both boxes and everything looks correct. 1st Box H-N = 120V H-G = 120V N-G = 0V 2nd Box H-N = 120V H-G = 0V N-G = 120V What can cause the above scenario. A short? A broken wire? Also, is this dangerous? I think it has been like this for awhile. |
