Two wires are always needed to supply electrical equipment so that the current has a complete circuit to flow in. One of the wires is earthed at the supply transformer, that one is called the neutral, and the other one is the live.
The neutral line in home electricity completes the circuit by providing a return path for current to flow back to the electrical source. It helps balance the electrical load and provides a reference point for voltage measurements. Without a neutral line, the circuit would not function properly and could pose safety risks.
neutral is a return path of supply .
Triple pole and neutral supply
On three phase services over 200 amps the electrical code allows the electrical contractor to reduce the size of the neutral wire . This saves the customer money. There are conditions as to how much the neutral can be reduced but it is not as low as half the supply conductors. The reason that the neutral can be reduced is that it only carries the unbalanced current on the three phase four wire system.

Black wires are typically used for power supply, white wires are used for neutral connections, and green wires are used for grounding in electrical wiring.
In the context of an air conditioner, "neutral" typically refers to the neutral wire in the electrical system, which completes the circuit by returning current to the power source. It is essential for the proper functioning of the unit, especially in systems that require a 240V supply, where a neutral wire may be necessary for some components, like control boards or sensors. Ensuring a proper neutral connection helps prevent electrical issues and supports safe operation of the air conditioning system.
A doorbell transformer on an electrical panel is used to step down the voltage from the main electrical supply to a lower voltage suitable for powering the doorbell system. This helps ensure the doorbell operates safely and efficiently without drawing too much power from the main electrical supply.
