[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 485759, member: 8133"] The PEN was not open. It was still 190 old volts at ground when tested at the earth/neutral on the transformer joint box just below the tx. Properties were separate detached buildings (these were actually opposite sides of road, and probably about 100m apart) The DNOs over reliance on volt sticks is slightly off, as is the fact that when at the TX they were about to declare everything alright on that because they'd tested Live to the earth running down to the rod below and got 230v and 0.15 loop , I prompted them to check further, brought over the temporary rod and wander lead "just humour me... and check between neutral and true ground over here" sure enough it was 190v like in the house [/QUOTE]
