measurements
Ghost voltages are voltages present on a circuit that should not be energized.
They are usually caused by capacitive coupling between energized wiring and
adjacent unused wiring. The VZ
your measurements by dissipating the coupling voltage. Use the VZ
to reduce the possibility of false readings in areas where the presence of ghost
voltages are suspected.
