[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 1272399, member: 10124"] You need a voltage meter to test correctly, check were the wires come out of the meter base and contact the breaker box, cut all the circuits off, you should have 120/120/240 or close to it. Then turn each breaker on as you check voltage on the 120 leg Voltage should remain constant, if the voltage fluctuates the bad ground is from the meter base up to transf. If you have an outlet on the pole plug an electric drill in it to test voltage, if all grounds are good the voltage remains constant, if the voltage fluctuates the bad ground is from that point up. That is how the coop should have checked to make sure where the bad connection is. You can not check property with out pulling a load on one circuit. [/QUOTE]
