Neutral is supposed to be at or near zero volts, right? So why is it showing voltage? This usually happens due to one of the following reasons: ✅ 1. Broken or Loose Neutral Connection: If the neutral wire is disconnected or poorly connected somewhere in the circuit, it can "float" and pick up voltage from nearby live wires through inductive or capacitive coupling. It’s not a true power-carrying voltage, but it can show up on a tester or multimeter. ✅ 2. Neutral-Earth Reversal: In some cases, the neutral and earth wires may be swapped due to faulty wiring. This can make the neutral pin carry current or show voltage dangerously. ✅ 3. Shared Neutral or Overloaded Circuits: In buildings with multiple circuits, a shared or overloaded neutral line may develop a voltage drop, causing it to no longer sit at 0V — especially when the system is unbalanced. ⚠️ How to Detect It: Use a multimeter to measure voltage between neutral and earth. Ideally, this should be close to 0V. If you see 80V, 120V, or even 230V — that’s a warning sign. Check continuity of the neutral back to the main panel. Use a neon tester — if it lights up on neutral, it may be live or floating. Verify correct socket wiring using a socket tester. 🔧 Fix: If you’re not experienced, call a licensed electrician. This kind of issue can lead to electric shock hazards or damage to appliances.
