I had a service call where the customer was complaining of having a bad picture on the lower end channels on all three televisions he had. Upon investigation found that when the cables where removed from the splitter there was 49 volts to ground from the braid as well as the center core. The voltage would go up or down as I plugged in the television, vcr, cable box. When the equipment was unplugged from the receptacle voltage dissapeared. There was never any voltage on the home run cable, just on the cables feeding out of the splitter. Both receptacles are on the same circuit and have been checked for proper grounding in the box and the conductors in the breaker panel were tight. I grounded the splitter but this did not change anything. Can anybody shed some light on how voltage is being induced into the co-ax? Thanks
