The water pipe is not properly grounded AND there is a ground fault or neutral imbalance in the house. Alternatively, there could be a neutral problem. In an ideally balanced house, the current on one hot leg balances the current on the other. This means that there is no current on neutral. In practice, there is some imbalance, and that common mode current does flow on neutral. If a circuit has a ground fault, the current return for that circuit is on ground, instead of neutral. That is wrong, and must be corrected. However - neutral and ground ARE connected together at the distribution panel. They are also connected at the street, so imbalance current could flow through ground instead of neutral. How much voltage is dependent on how much impedance. If there is a voltage at the house ground, and no ground fault or major imbalance, it calls into question the adequacy of the ground path, however, it is also possible that neutral is open, causing the imbalance current to flow through ground alone.
What else can I help you with?
A 50 gallon electric water heater that uses 2 elements is normally what voltage?
A 50 gallon electric water heater with 2 elements is typically connected to a 240 volt power supply. Each element is designed to run on 240 volts to efficiently heat the water in the tank.
Why does my gas water heater need to be hooked up to a 30 amp breaker with 220 volts?
A gas water heater doesn't use electricity to heat water like an electric water heater does. The electrical connection is typically for powering the ignition system or other electronic components on the gas water heater. The 30 amp breaker with 220 volts is required to safely supply power to these components.
Does the water cycle use up earths water supply?
Yes water cycle use up earths supply. Water is evaporated from earth's surface.
How do tsunami waves affect soil and supply fresh water?
Tsunami waves can erode soil by carrying away top layers and depositing salt which can affect fertility. They can also contaminate fresh water sources by introducing saltwater, harming marine life and disrupting water treatment systems. Flooding from tsunamis can lead to saltwater intrusion in groundwater reservoirs, further affecting fresh water supply.
What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?
Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.
Leading cause of limited water supply?
Too many people.
How the perennial supply of water damage farmland?
To much water can cause water logging. water table rises. The water evaporates and cause silinity.
How will agricultural demands affect the water supply?
it cause worms to affect the groundf
How are sound waves sensed?
Sound is vibration that propagates to be a audible mechanical wave. It uses pressure and displacement, through air or water to be sensed whether by hearing or feeling.
A 50 gallon electric water heater that uses 2 elements is normally what voltage?
A 50 gallon electric water heater with 2 elements is typically connected to a 240 volt power supply. Each element is designed to run on 240 volts to efficiently heat the water in the tank.
Can a bad pressure tank cause air in water lines?
Yes, a bad pressure tank can cause air to enter the water lines, leading to air bubbles in the water supply.
What would happen to your water supply if land use was not regulated?
If land was not regulated, then there could be more pollution. Polluted areas would cause the water supply to be unusable and undrinkable if runoff from chemical sources enter into the supply.
What is the cause of thirsty?
our body needs water. when our body needs water, it naturally expects water. when we do not supply water to body thirst is created Dehydration.
How does industrial use affect water supply?
It can cause water pollution by dumping chemicals into the rivers and also the ground which gets into our well water.
What would cause a drastic drop in water pressure in all faucets?
A leak in the supply pipe.
What would cause plumbing to stop?
If you mean "Why does the water from the supply pipe stop flowing?" it is best to check with your local water supply utility company. Maybe they are doing some maintenance work on their water distribution network?
What would cause the cold water in all your faucets to have zero pressure but the hot water pressure is fine?
Lots of stuf can cause it including sediment or a blocked supply line
