[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 57393, member: 34"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices Neutral to ground will only really read zero volts at the main service entrance, where they are bonded. Code does not allow neutral and ground to be bonded anywhere else (as in, it should NOT be bonded in subpanels). So, as you get farther and farther away from the main service, and as unbalanced current is being drawn, there will be voltage on the neutral relative to ground, but it is normal. [/QUOTE]
