SUMMARY

The acceptable voltage between neutral and earth in electrical systems typically ranges from 1.4 to 2 volts AC. However, the ideal requirement for neutral to earth voltage is 0 volts. Achieving this value necessitates professional intervention, as local electrical codes and practices vary significantly, particularly in regions like India. Engaging a licensed electrician is essential for resolving such electrical issues safely and effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical systems and grounding principles
  • Familiarity with local electrical codes and regulations
  • Knowledge of AC voltage measurement techniques
  • Experience with troubleshooting electrical equipment
NEXT STEPS
  • Research local electrical codes specific to India
  • Learn about proper grounding techniques in electrical installations
  • Study AC voltage measurement methods and tools
  • Explore best practices for hiring licensed electricians
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, electricians, and anyone involved in maintaining or troubleshooting electrical systems, particularly in regions with specific local codes like India.

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.
