When you connect the load at the receptacle, the hot-to-ground receptacle source voltage should be the sum of the hot-to-neutral voltage (the voltage across the load) and the neutral-to-ground voltage (the voltage drop on the neutral wire all the way back to its connection to the ground circuit) (Fig. 2 on page 34).
