The discussion centers on a user experiencing an unusual voltage reading of 120V on one lead and 240V on another after changing their breaker box. Despite both leads showing 110V at the meter outside, the discrepancy suggests a potential issue with the wiring or connections between the pole and the breaker panel. The consensus emphasizes the necessity of hiring a licensed electrician for troubleshooting and resolving electrical issues, especially after modifications to the electrical panel.

Welcome to the PF.ChrisZ said:I changed my breaker box and when I connected the two leads from the pole one is coming in at 120 and the other at 240. I did not change anything between the pole and incoming lead. What could have happened here and how do I trouble shoot / resolve this? The voltage out of the meter on the pole outside the house has both leads at 110V. Any ideas on what may be the problem?
