[QUOTE="Robert Burns, post: 22814, member: 76"] Re: odd electrical situation As Rob mentioned a "wiggy" is not subject to phantom readings. Wigginton ( solenoid ) tester predates digital meters and are strongly suggested for those who do electrical work frequently - especially power distribution circuits: [URL]http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3726/is_200405/ai_n9458300/[/URL] While stray voltage can't be ruled out in [U]this[/U] scenario ( apparent bad wiring job ): There are numerous cases of in which [U]high[/U] phantom voltage is measured. Often if excessively long runs are used, Or water heater circuits. See NEMA Bulletin 88 [URL="http://www.nema.org/prod/wire/build/upload/Bulletin%2088%202003.doc"]http://www.nema.org/prod/wire/build/upload/Bulletin%2088%202003.doc[/URL]. Others ( like Klein ) make affordable solenoid testers. [/QUOTE]
