Where are you checking the wires at? The service panel or at the outlet? If you're checking at the outlet, it looks like some bad wiring somewhere. If you're reading this at the service panel, then the main entrance wires are faulty (or your electric company is faulty). If the outlet is unloaded you have a resistive neutral. Call an electrician now, if you value your electronics.
Presumably, you are asking what happens when a conductor 'cuts' lines of magnetic flux? If so, then a voltage is induced across the ends of that conductor.
Similar to the third wire on an RTD, 2 terminals are the current carrying conductors, 2 for the voltage. There will be a voltage drop across any current carrying connection. The voltage sense lines don't carry any current, so they accruately measure the voltage across the calibrated resistor/shunt.
The distance between high voltage lines is governed by either a switching impulse voltage or lightning impulse voltage. The distance between lines, or lines and tower must have a high enough dielectric strength to avoid flashover at these voltage. Air can withstand a voltage of 3kv/mm.
Electricity is generated at power plants using various sources such as coal, natural gas, wind, or solar energy. The electricity is then transmitted over long distances through high-voltage power lines to substations. From the substations, medium-voltage lines distribute the electricity to neighborhoods, where it is finally sent through low-voltage lines to individual homes and schools.
The generation of Arc in high voltage lines takes place whenever the voltage is enough to allow current to jump across conductors by breakdown of insulator. Arcing mainly occurs when the insulation properties of insulators are permanently damaged resulting in complete system failure
Increase the voltage in the lines.
It is the transient voltage that appears across the contacts of the circuit breaker at or near the zero current instant during arcing period. A high frequency transient voltage appears across the contacts and is caused by the rapid distribution of energy between the magnetic & electric field associated with the station & transmission lines of the system at the zero current. This transient voltage is known as restriking voltage.
It's the voltage: HT high voltage LT low voltage Tension = voltage (French?)
Horizontal lines:)
The energy from a power plant gets to your home by going on transmission lines and going through different substations and transformers so the voltage is reduced low enough so it is safe to go into your homes.

High-voltage transmission lines, typically operating at voltages of 100,000 volts or more, are used to send electricity over a nationwide network. These lines are part of the grid system that helps to distribute electricity across long distances efficiently and reliably.
