Re: What is the highest voltage drop you've worked around?
I once had a 120-volt outlet that was showing as 87 volts on my Suretest. Huh? Oh. Wrong type of voltage drop. Nevermind....

Re: What is the highest voltage drop you've worked around?
Not as a H.I., of course, but in my previous life I had responsibility for all of our mill industrial systems up to 110 kV. Of course, none of the contact work at that level was done energized. The highest voltage I ever worked with "hot" (for testing, etc.) was 480 v.
