[QUOTE="Apache, post: 78749, member: 828"] Hang on here CJS. I don't mean to be rude but your explanation isn't quite clear. ARE you saying you put one probe of the volt tester on a live terminal somewhere on the installation and the other probe onto the SWA armour? If yes you would expect the mass of the SWA to act as a crude but poor earth rod and give you the potential difference you describe. No? Did you measure amps? We NEED to know exactly what your ends of the voltage tester were touching! [/QUOTE]
