This is the situation on several sockets in a building.
(A)
Live-Neutral on some sockets = 206V
Live-Earth on some sockets = 130V
Neutral-Earth on some sockets = 75V
Some others have this
(B)
Live-Neutral on some sockets = 224V
Live-Earth on some sockets = 224V
Neutral-Earth on some sockets = 0V
and a third has these
(C)
Live-Neutral on some sockets = 213V
Live-Earth on some sockets = 213V
Neutral-Earth on some sockets = 0V
When I test the above at the distribution panel, I do not get the (A) condition. (A) condition only occurs at some sockets in the building!
1. HOW DO I CORRECT THIS?
Also I noticed that Neutral-Earth voltage of about 2V even when all electrical source is disconnected at the distribution panel.
2. Can this voltage be coming from the EARTH?
3. Can multiple earthing create a problem? e.g. Generator earthed, VSAT dish earthed, telephone earthed in 2 places,etc?
