Was fixing a bad wiring job between a sub panel and a 240v 2 phase water pump and noticed that my multimedia was only testing it as 190v. Checked back at the breaker and saw the same. Checked between L1 and L2 on a different breaker and saw the same.
My 240v equipment (dryer, oven, water heater, 2 HVAC units) all work fine.
Should I be concerned?
How big of a deal is this? Like call an electrician asap or wait until I have some other electrical work lined up?


If you are showing that low there is something wrong. 240v is the nominal rating but it should be within about 7% of that and you are closer to 20% off.
