    Earth Voltage
Click For 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.

@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 'One pin AC connector  (Coaxial)'
I was reading about someone building a DC house, because this would make solar+battery more efficient. I was wondering what those plugs would look like, but found that there didn't seem to be any standard for DC 120v plugs and sockets. So I thought I'd try to make one, just for kicks: This is based loosely on the 12v coaxial cable that most AC/DC adapters use. I figured that for 15A it would need to be bigger. It has four pins and so can carry both AC and DC, or 120v and 240v, or...
