If you have 120 Volts at top of panel, you should have at the bottom of panel, unless you are measuring from a 2 pole breaker with a burnt breaker contact or bad pole of 2 pole.
In this case you may be reading 1 leg through load and returning back to breaker. Measuring Hot to hot from breaker will determine if back feeding.
Yes I understand that what would cause this twice
I can't follow. One BIG run-on sentence. If it's the main lug, this could be a poor connection anywhere from the transformer to the box. It's a utility issue.
Bet if it's at the main lug and you turn off the main CB, the voltages measure normal again.
I agree. Maybe a better explanation of what is going on will help us help out.Quote:

Its on the main disconnect .100 amp panel
A Same Bad breaker at botom of panel, are you measuring off breaker?Quote:

If you are measuring off breaker, also check voltage from hot to hot, Is this a 2 pole beaker?
I'm not sure if this is "specific" enough. :rolleyes:Quote:
