Re: Something went Bad Wrong!

think thats odd  try this one.
had a customer with a grounded telephone ckt.
L1 to L2 ie.. red to green  had 49.5 vdc
red to ground  had 53.5 vdc
green to ground  had 35.4 vdc
had 60 cycle hum on audio of loop
when ringing ckt had  110 vac red to green..

Telephone guy (AT&T / Bellsouth) said there wasn't anything wrong with the
ckt..
(to quote him  he had over 46 vdc on the pair  so nothing could be wrong)

best we could figure the difference of the 53.5  over the 49.5  was a loop
back impedence
where the impedence voltage added to the primary voltage causing the extra
voltage to show up..

the best part was that the distance  from the customer to the telephone
switchframe was apx. 125 feet.
however the line had 3 (get that) three splices in the overhead wire..

to my knowledge  to this day  the phone company hasn't fixed the grounds.
(been 4 years)

We moved the rj-31 over to another line going to the customer.
