    TT Earth and Neutral voltage.

    Just out of interest if a TT system is installed with a decent earth rod what sort of voltages exist between the Neutral in respect to real earth potential of 0 Volts? What's the average Neutral to Earth voltage, does it fluctuate from time to time? Does it get dangerous??? Thanks.
