Electrical – reading zero volts phase to earth

electrical

When i measured the voltage reading on the socket I got an unusual reading
phase to neutral is 220V (expected reading )
phase to earth is 0V (unusual) ??
neutral to earth is oV (expected reading)

I do not understand why the phase to earth reading shows 0…. Could you please explain the underlying problem

That is a simple "open ground", or "open earth" situation. The safety connection to "earth" is open somewhere in the circuit.

This is a problem that should be corrected. May I ask what prompted you to make these measurements?
