Can anybody help with a puzzle please?

[Melody Hales]

Hi Everybody,

One of my hobbies is geocaching and I'm trying to obtain some coordinates in the form of 52°XX.--- and 00X°XX.---. (or it could be in this format 52.XXXX and X.XXXX) I'm usually pretty good at these, but this is an electrical challenge and I'm stuck. I've got the following clues:

Mains voltage is 240V (OK, I know it isn't really)
5.99254V (shown on an image household plug, next to the neutral pin)
270.44353V (shown on the same image, next to the earth pin)

The clues also state single phase. OK, that's all I have and have been trying to find a way to solve this for over 2 weeks. Do these number mean anything to you. Any ideas? I've looked at RMS voltages, standards, adding, multiplying, dividing etc etc but to no avail. Nobody else has solved this yet.

Any help very gratefully received!!

No mate, it's pleasure enough to know that my brain still works!!!!

Yeah, good to know. What was that question again?:thinking2:

I wired a socket today!

Hope you worked out the correct terms.

and got the angle of the pins right, or is it east?

great thinking Rockingit. I am new here and just jumpimg around to see what it is all about. Electricians are smart guys but didn't know some geniuses were to be found. Like the site by the way. Lots of stuff going on. Sharing will be the solution to all our problems going into the future. So good to see all the sharing going on here.
