why voltage between neutral and earth, with out secondary
grounded distribution transformer

Answer Posted / kj

If the transformer neutral is not earth then there is no
direct path between these and therefore should not have a
voltage. But this is in a perfect world.

In reality the insulation in the transformer is not
perfect. It will have weak spots in it. When you connect a
meter between the earth and the neutral you are measuring
the voltage between the neutral and the weakest spot in the
insulation. You will find that if the insulation is good
there will be very little or no current flow if an ammeter
is connected between the earth and the neutral.

I have experienced this and have investigated to determine
why it is happening.

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer? How to enter this field? I need job in PUNE
