Re: Switched receptacle neutral bleed
Gunnar, Matthew,
What type of volt meter?
If of the digital type, they can read a false voltage from things like that because they have virtually no current draw, however, the old analog meters have enough current draw to draw down a 'static voltage' like that and give a proper reading.
I am *assuming* that there really is nothing wrong ... but Gunnar's 60 volts is a bit high, enough to make me suspect 'something' is wrong someplace.
If you have a SureTest digital, one thing it does is measure voltage and neutral-to-ground voltage, and, being it is performing other tests and drawing current for those tests, I would give its neutral-to-ground voltage reading more credence than a regular digital voltmeter.
