What else can I help you with?
Can you read 120 volts line to neutral even with a severed neutral?
It depends on what side of the break that you are reading from. On the neutral load side of the break there will be no reading. On the panel neutral side of the break you will get a reading.
What should be the outputs of the hot neutral and ground wires respectively when tested with a multimeter?
When tested with a multimeter, the hot wire should show a voltage reading of approximately 120 volts (or 230 volts, depending on your region) relative to ground. The neutral wire should show a voltage reading close to 0 volts when measured against ground, as it is at the same electrical potential. The ground wire should also read 0 volts when tested against either the hot or neutral wires, as it serves as a safety path for electrical faults.
How do you reduce neutral and earth voltage up to 0 volts?
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.
Why does your panel have a neutral but no ground?
Just checked and it does have a ground connection.
What two colors may be used for the ground conductor neutral?
What two colors may be used for the ground conductor (neutral)
How can I test a neutral wire to ensure it is functioning properly?
To test a neutral wire, use a multimeter set to measure voltage. Place one probe on the neutral wire and the other on a ground wire or metal box. A properly functioning neutral wire should show a voltage reading close to zero. If the reading is significantly higher, there may be an issue with the neutral wire.
Could anybody help the reading between earth and neutral in the incomer supplying power to the house is 120V while live and neutral reads normal 220V and live-earth reads up to 298V.?
It sounds like either you have a bad ground connection or that ground and neutral are NOT bonded at the main panel only. There is either a strap or screw in main panel that connects ground and neutral. Also check the connection to a ground rod and that the ground rod is intact.

Difference between ground and neutral?
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
What is the difference between a neutral bar and a ground bar in an electrical panel?
A neutral bar is where the neutral wires from the circuits are connected, while a ground bar is where the ground wires are connected. The neutral bar carries the current back to the power source, while the ground bar provides a path for excess electricity to safely dissipate into the ground.
Should there be power from common to ground in wall socket?
120 volt wall outlets. Their could me a small voltage between neutral and ground,up to around 1.5 volts. What you are measuring is the voltage drop on the system at that point in the system. You see the neutral and the ground are at the same level some where up stream (service panel). The neutral is under the same load as the phase conductor, and the neutral will drop voltage same as the phase. This is in fact the way I measure voltage drop, (neutral to ground.) However don't get fooled by high imped. meter, They have a way of ghosting a voltage. Or floating high, You get a reading but the voltage is really not their.
What is the significance of the neutral to ground voltage in electrical systems?
The neutral to ground voltage in electrical systems is important because it helps to ensure the safety of the system. When the neutral to ground voltage is at the correct level, it means that there is a proper connection between the neutral and ground wires, which helps to prevent electrical shocks and fires. Monitoring and maintaining the neutral to ground voltage is crucial for the overall safety and functionality of an electrical system.
Why does your panel have a neutral but no ground?
Just checked and it does have a ground connection.
What two colors may be used for the ground conductor neutral?
What two colors may be used for the ground conductor (neutral)
Should there be voltage between the neutral and ground?
No, ideally there should be no voltage between the neutral and ground wires in an electrical system.
