A phase leg connects to the neutral through the connected load.

The current is the same in the three live wires. The voltage can be described as the line voltage (phase to neutral) or the phase voltage (phase to phase) which is larger by a factor of sqrt(3). So a line voltage of 230 v corresponds to a phase voltage of 400 v.
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
It could be a phase to phase, ph to neutral or earth fault. In single ph wiring ph to ph exhibits no short ckt faultAnswerYes, but you have got the terminology wrong. There is no such thing as 'phase-to-phase', the correct term being 'line-to-line'. So you can have a short circuit as a result of a line-to-line fault, a line-to-neutral fault, or a line-to-earth fault.
If the test shows that there is a continuity between the phase leg and the neutral with no load connected, then that circuit should not be energized. If the circuit was energized then the fuse or breaker protecting that leg will trip the circuit open.

IF Neutral is connected to the Switch then Live still exists on the socket even if the Switch is OFF.In such a situation a person can get a shock as Live can form a circuit thru the body to Ground.
It does not matter what line in (the phase or neutral) is the fuse. In a closed series circuit current in all areas of the circuit is equal. It's best to put the fuses in both wires (phase and neutral) and even better for each individual device in the chain.
I think you probably mean 'lines', rather than 'phases' but, even so, your question is still confusing. However, if you connect any two lines together directly, you will create a line-to-line short circuit fault; if you connect any line and neutral together directly, you will create a line-to-neutral short circuit fault.
The neutral provides a path back to the source for the electricity. In a three-phase circuit, it is mainly used to carry the unbalanced load back to the source. In theory, a perfectly-balanced three-phase circuit would not need a neutral, but this is almost impossible to achieve in actual practice.

For a three phase distribution system there is one neutral. In North America the electrical code allows three individual branch circuits to connect with one neutral as long as the three circuits each use an individual phase leg. This differs from 120/240 volt single phase wiring where only two legs can be used with one neutral.
Phase difference.

Electrical connections are based on phase neutral earth in single or three phase should know this
Neutral will be closest to protective earth ground. In the US, neutral is white. we can check using tester ,when tester is connected to phase only lamp of the tester glows and when it is connected to the nuetral the lamp does not glow. another method is, connect the voltmeter to any one of the terminal and ground if the voltmeter shows 110v 0r 220v then it is phase and the other is nuetral.
