How can I find an open neutral? - Home Improvement Stack …
网页To find where the neutral is open, you will have to know how the branch circuit is wired--i.e. daisy chained--then start at the first outlet/switch in line checking line to neutral (Blk. to Wh.) voltages. When you get to the device where this voltage is zero, the open is between this device and the previous one tested.

网页2017年1月11日 · 4. To test a bad neutral simply test the known hot to a good ground. Hot to ground should return nominal voltage ~ 110 - 125 Volts and hot to neutral would read something irregular. In the case the ground is either bad or missing simply run a drop cord from a working properly grounded outlet and test hot to ground.

网页2022年1月3日 · Second, check which other lights and receptacles stop working when that circuit breaker is off. Third, turn the circuit back on and check the hot-to-neutral voltage at every outlet. Fourth, if you find some outlets are working and some are not, you will likely need to open up every outlet on that circuit and look for loose neutral wires.
All 4 outlets on the same circuit shows Open Neutral
网页2023年7月8日 · I figured it is most likely an wiring issue. so I have 4 outlets that on the same circuit on kitchen countertop. They were all working fine but due to remodeling I asked a handyman to replace two outlets with white receptacles. one of outlets is a combo, where the switch controls the garbage disposal. the switch and disposal is working fine ...
Switched outlet has open neutral when switch is off
网页2015年1月9日 · 2. Longneck is right, it could be in either location. Won't know until you look. My first guess would be that the switch is controlling the neutral wire rather than the hot wire. Could be a rather simple fix if the hot and neutral are both in that switch box. Could be more complicated if there's more strange wiring. – rjbergen.
Why am I showing 50 volts between neutral and ground?
网页Using a digital multimeter and touching the black lead to the exterior of the recessed lights and the red lead to my finger, the multimeter reads 18 volts, so basically the ground is carrying voltage to the can lights. If I test the ground and the neutral mid-line (at a junction box between two of the lights), I am getting 50 volts.

网页2020年3月26日 · 1. Piuctures of the (open) panel are welcome, maybe higlighting the the involved breaker. – DDS. Mar 26, 2020 at 15:08. 2. You should have on each end 3 wires - hot/neutral/ground. Disconnect all 3 from the panel and all 3 from the receptacle (which you already did, but just clarifying for this test).
Neutral wire going into panel has ~120 volts on it
网页2019年2月13日 · 4. If you have a neutral wire removed from the neutral bus bar in your panel it is possible to see 120VAC on that wire if the circuit breaker for that circuit is turned on and there is a load connected to the circuit and load device is also turned on. The disconnected neutral means that no return current is flowing in that circuit but with a ...

网页2021年11月30日 · YW and Three. 21 2. At switch you are not reading difference between two wires (hot and neutral/ground), you are reading two sections of the same wire. Open/broken neutral could anywhere in that circuit coming from the breaker. Other outlets or junction boxes, or worst case for finding a broken wire.
Troubleshooting Neutral Wire - Home Improvement Stack Exchange
网页2021年11月26日 · "Open Neutral" is the usual term. Regarding your update, with a typical digital multimeter and no load on the wire, 80V of induced voltage (thus, 40V difference) is entirely unremarkable. There's a bad connection (thus, "open" not connected; rather than "closed," connected; in "switch" terms) somewhere on that wire run.
