I will assume you measured 8 volts between neutral and equipment ground.
No, we look for a maximum of 3 volts.
Some equipment will not want more than 1/2 to one volt.
This can be tricky to locate, could be a ground loop, could be a loose or corroded connection.
Begin checking at the source of the circuit.
