Any ideas of what would cause 65 volts to be present at a light fixture connected to three ways , when the three ways are off. Is it normal to have leakage,if so what is allowed.Thanks for any infor.
A digital meter is sensitive enough that capacitive coupling between the one "hot" wire and a traveller can make it read that high. If the run is long enough (30 feet or so), you can get enough coupling to fire a neon test lamp. Place a small load across your meter leads and it should go away.Originally posted by gerry:
