On attempting to measure the earth electrode resistance on a single-phase TT installation using an AVO earth loop impedance tester, the instrument indicated over limit voltage of 290v and would not permit the test to proceed.
The P-N voltage was 235v. Unfortunately the operative did not measure neutral to earth voltage.
A contractor on site at the same time as our operative confirmed the 290v using a different voltage indicator.
I was intrigued and some days later I visited the site. Voltages seem to have returned to normal, 233v between live conductors and between phase and earth and 0 v between neutral and earth.
The supply to the installation is fed via a local three phase power company tx.

Care to speculate?
