If you are reading a voltage it is the drop across the resistance to ground. To get rid of the voltage get the resistance lower. This can be accomplished by installing more ground rods to the grounding system. Utility companies usually like 3 ohms to ground or less.

What is voltage between earth and line?

In a typical residential situation there is 220 to 240 volts between the two hot wires that are typically red and black and 110 to 120 volts between neutral and either black or red. The voltage between neutral and earth should be zero.


What to do when there is voltage at neutral?

Quality of the earth pit needs to be checked and enhanced. Check the continuity of the earth bus/ conductor, check for improper joints in the earth bus / conductor and correct it. Earth resistance will reduce and the voltage difference between neutral and earth will also reduce. Check also for the loose or floating neutral and correct it.


What is the total of a phase to earth voltage on 11000 volts?

An 11,000 volt three-phase supply has a voltage of 6351 from live to neutral, when there is a neutral wire.


What is the voltage of the neutral wire in an electrical circuit?

The voltage of the neutral wire in an electrical circuit is typically close to zero volts.


What voltage does a neutral wire have in an electrical circuit?

In an electrical circuit, the neutral wire typically has a voltage of around 0 volts.


How do you reduce 12 volts to 3.7 volts?

If the voltage is AC a transformer can be used.


What is the voltage level typically found in a neutral wire?

The voltage level typically found in a neutral wire is close to zero volts.


Why voltage at neutral in ckt is zero?

You really should be asking why the potential of neutral is zero. 'Voltage' means 'potential difference' which, by definition, cannot exist at at point. The reason is that the neutral conductor is earthed (grounded), and earth is, by general consent, considered to have a potential of zero volts. In practise, however, there is usually a small voltage drop between the neutral and earth, so it would be more accurate to say that the neutral's potential is close to zero.


What is the problem if I measure voltage on an 120vac outlet 96 volts from neutral to ground?

Firstly measure the voltage between your live and earth.Assuming you get ~120 volts here, the problem is a loose neutral somewhere along the line.If you get 24volts the problem is a bad earth connection, with a fault voltage on it.TBH it's most likely the former, as the latter implies 2 separate faults.


How many volts does a brown wire carry?

The three colours used in the UK are: blue (live), brown (neutral), yellow and green stripes (earth). The standard UK domestic voltage is 240 volts.


What is the voltage between neutral and earth if neutral is broken?

Normally, it is zero.Except in very special cases, the neutral and ground (earth) conductors in a building are tied together at one point in the system, so ideally the voltage difference would be zero. The reason that it might not be zero is there is current flowing in the neutral and, thus, voltage drop in the neutral conductor. Since the ground conductor normally never has current flow (unless there is a fault), there will be a difference in voltage equal to the voltage drop across the neutral conductor, which varies with load (current).It should be 0V , but as per our earth pit maintaining that voltage will be varied even also not exceed 5V.
