SUMMARY
The discussion centers on troubleshooting a voltage issue in a 25 kVA transformer. The user reports that the voltmeter reads 114 volts without load, but drops to less than 1 volt when the house is connected. Suggestions include checking for a blown fuse, which may cause leakage current, and the importance of consulting a licensed electrician for safety and liability reasons.
