46volts showing up on circuit with no feed and 120V on conductor next to it?
I've got a circuit with (2) 3 way switches (good) that operated a light just fine. I wanted to add a Leviton motion sensor at one end (it's capable of 3 way operation with a jumper). 1st problem is that the Leviton diagram doesn't fit the situation. The load was wired (not by me) as power through (like this http://www.homeimprovementweb.com/information/how-to/three-way-switch-option3.htm). So, there's the first question.
I started going through the motions to ID the travelers so I'd know what I was dealing with and things started getting interesting. I took all wires off both switches and energized one of the travelers and lo and behold I get 120V on one wire at the other end (good) and 46V on the other one (bad). So, I dig deeper. I take the load out of the picture and disconnect all wires, energize one trav and at the other end I get similar results results only 56V instead of 46V. I checked for continuity between all cond's and get zero Ohms. I'm stumped
