    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 scary.

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.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
