I have power going from my house to my barn (100 amp service). One leg is solid 120v. The other is roughly 5V. Measurements are without load on either leg. At the house end both are 120V.
Can this be a connection, corrosion, or breaker problem or is it a problem in the cable below the ground? Is this dangerous?
How do you go about finding the problem and can it be "patched"?
I have virtually no current draw in the barn - sometimes lights, sometime circular saw, fence charge, nothing major. If the voltage drop is not repairable is it a problem if I just disconnect one leg and only run 120 (instead of 240) to the barn?
Any help will be appreciated.
