20 Volts Neutral to Ground & 100 volts Neutral to Hot
My outlets that have been working fine in my new house for 12 years suddenly went dead. I checked the breaker and it was not tripped. I measured the voltage and found 100 VAC from neutral to hot. I then measured Neutral to ground and found 20 VAC and 120 VAC from Hot to ground. Some how I am getting 20 volts on the neutral which explains why I'm only measuring 100 volts between neutral and hot. I change a GFI with no help. One last thing is the 2 outlets closest to the circuit breaker measure a perfect 120 vac where the circuits further down the line have the neutral 20vac. Also three of the 7 outlets are outside recepticals but appear OK on the surface.
How is this possible and what could the issue be?
