I was at a friend's house that needed some work done, just checking it out today. A receptacle in the hallway caught my eye and I checked the voltage...~54V
So I checked the other side of the wall where he had his sander plugged in. Still ~54V.
I'm using a new Fluke meter and my outlets at my apartment read ~120V. So the meter is working fine.
I can only guess that I wasn't getting a good solid connection with the probes inside the receptacle. I was on my way out and rushing it. I just checked hot to ground.
Any thoughts on what was happening there?
