    Earth Voltage
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the acceptable voltage between neutral and earth in electrical systems, with a specific focus on achieving a target of 0 volts. Participants noted that typical readings range from 1.4 to 2 volts AC, which is above the desired level. There is a strong recommendation for the original poster to consult a licensed electrician for assistance, especially given the complexities of local electrical codes in India. The thread was ultimately closed due to concerns about seeking professional advice online rather than from qualified individuals. Professional guidance is emphasized as essential for addressing electrical issues safely.

Hi
Normally our electrical equipment systems neutral to Earth voltage showing 1.4 to 2 volts AC.
Our requirement neutral to Earth is 0 volts.
How to achieve this value ,please help me.
What is the normal acceptable voltage of neutral to earth.

@putta -- Your previous thread (although it was 5 years ago) was closed because it seemed like you were refusing to contact a licensed electrician to help with your electrical issues. Is this the same situation again? I recall that you said you are in India, so most of us will not be familiar with your local electrical codes. In any case, you should contact a local electrician to help you with this problem.

Thread will be closed for now. If I'm missing something, please send me a PM and maybe we can re-open this thread. Here is the last post from your previous thread:

That is good advice @jim hardy . Do not try to get professional electrical advice on a web forum as a substitute for hiring a competent professional electrician.

Thread will remain closed.

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
