I have an older school building with a 3 phase 208v 2000 amp service a disconnect under load in the main gear feeding a Sub-Panel
in another wing of the school reads each phase to neutral 120v & each phase to ground 120v & neutral to ground around 400 mv.
The Sub-Panel under No load has the same readings, the Sub-Panel feeds 3 other panels, Kitchen, Gym & General lighting. Individually each panel under load the neutral reads a range of 7-57 v to ground depending on the panel under load and lights flicker as the load increases with motors running on and off etc.. All connections in all panels are tight.
The Sub panel is fed with (6) parallel 350 mcm aluminum conductors and (2) 350 mcm aluminum neutral conductors in (2) conduits.
I believe we might have a problem with the (2) 350 mcm neutrals originating at the main disconnect feeding the Sub-Panel.:rotflmao:
