OK 30 might be a little high but I have seen fairly high potentials between neutral and ground. Don't know why but isn't that why they sometimes use isolation transformers in-line of some equipment? I do know too that it is a concern with some of our medical equipment where even very small potentials can cause extreme harm. Things like RF leakage can get onto the neutral line altering the potential between it and ground I think and other anomalies.
I haven't ever bothered to check around here maybe I will tomorrow.
