I am currently working in a old paper mill , graphic packaging, and my task last week was to add one circuit in for one of the supervisors in his office , he has one circuit in already and its overloaded. I add the circuit in, pulled it in # 10, its atleast 200 feet , the panel was barely legible , barely workable , it was down right sad the condition its in, but all we are doing is adding a circuit in. I assume it was 120/208 but not sure , this plant was built in the late 70's or early 80's so it could be some design thats before my time. In the pipe I'm using there is a ground , yellow, white , and a blue , I pulled a black and white 10. I hooked everything up the way I wanted , separating were I saw fit. The plant goes to land the circuit I pulled and showed 120 volts on the neutral , so I go and make sure I didnt cross some wires ,, it can happen sometimes , and couldnt find anything wrong , now I know you can have residual voltage , voltage on the neutral when there is a voltage drop , but 120 volts. Can someone please offer some input on this , is this possible or ????????
