The neutral and earth are connected at the supply transformer, so 13 volts on the neutral means that you are far enough from the transformer to have a 13 volt drop on the neutral. You probably have the same drop on the live, so the total volt drop could be 26 volts, which may be excessive. It could indicate a fault somewhere.

What is the total of a phase to earth voltage on 11000 volts?
An 11,000 volt three-phase supply has a voltage of 6351 from live to neutral, when there is a neutral wire.
Why voltage are not produce in netural wire?
First of all, by definition, 'voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', and a potential differenceexists between two different points. So a single conductor cannot experience a 'voltage' or 'potential difference'. Your question, therefore, should ask why a neutral conductor has no 'potential'. By general agreement, potentials are measured with respect to earth (ground), which is arbitrarily assumed to be at 0 volts.The answer is that a neutral conductor is earthed, or grounded, so theoretically its potential must be the same as earth -i.e. 0 volts. But, in practise, due to the resistance of the conductor that connects the neutral conductor to earth, the neutral conductor can often have a potential of several volts with respect to earth.
Why voltage at neutral in ckt is zero?
You really should be asking why the potential of neutral is zero. 'Voltage' means 'potential difference' which, by definition, cannot exist at at point. The reason is that the neutral conductor is earthed (grounded), and earth is, by general consent, considered to have a potential of zero volts. In practise, however, there is usually a small voltage drop between the neutral and earth, so it would be more accurate to say that the neutral's potential is close to zero.
What is the voltage between neutral and earth if neutral is broken?
Normally, it is zero.Except in very special cases, the neutral and ground (earth) conductors in a building are tied together at one point in the system, so ideally the voltage difference would be zero. The reason that it might not be zero is there is current flowing in the neutral and, thus, voltage drop in the neutral conductor. Since the ground conductor normally never has current flow (unless there is a fault), there will be a difference in voltage equal to the voltage drop across the neutral conductor, which varies with load (current).It should be 0V , but as per our earth pit maintaining that voltage will be varied even also not exceed 5V.
How many watts of electric on a 13 amp fuse 240 volts?
You need the formula: Amps * Volts = Watts But you get to do the math.
How do you reduce neutral and earth voltage up to 0 volts?
If you are reading a voltage it is the drop across the resistance to ground. To get rid of the voltage get the resistance lower. This can be accomplished by installing more ground rods to the grounding system. Utility companies usually like 3 ohms to ground or less.
Is safe to connect fuse in neutral?
No - absolutely not!Fuses are there to protect against overcurrent in the event of a fault. The neutral is connected to earth at the supply company's source, usually at the transformer, so the difference between neutral and earth at the consumer's premises will only be a few volts (this is due to voltage drop in the supply cables). The fuse should be in the live, so if there's a live/earth or live/neutral fault, it will blow. If it was in the neutral, it would still blow for a live/neutral fault, but it would leave all wiring in the appliance live. However, for a live/earth fault, there would be no protection apart from any fuse further upline - probably of a higher rating, so there's a risk of fire and/or electric shock.Early electrical installations had fuses in live and neutral. The problem here is that if the neutral fuse blew first, the whole circuit would become live - so there should never be a fuse in neutral - under any circumstances.Always fit a fuse appropriate to the load current, and also ensure cabling is capable of taking the load current safely.I have come across several instances in Chinese consumer electronics of an internal fuse in the neutral. Amazingly, this junk carried a CE mark!
How do you wire 250 watt metal halide 277v with only one line and one common?
That is all that is needed to wire the fixture. The 277 volts is the line to neutral of a 480 volt three phase system. Any one of L1, L2 or L3 to the neutral will give you the 277 volts that you need to connect the fixture so that it will operate.
Can you get 120 volts from a 480 volts 3 phase Y generator?
NO, the 480 Volts Y -- is 4 wire system, with three wires which are hot legs @ 480 volts between each three hot legs. A mid tap is a neutral leg (ground) the white wire. Which gives 277 volts between it and any of the three hot legs. so a 4wire 480 volt Y system. Gives 480 /277 volts.
Can a 240 Volts delta motor run on 440 Volts star connection?
If it is a 240 v delta motor it needs a 240 v three-phase supply, which has 139 v between line and neutral, so 440 v would not be acceptable.
Do all electrical power sources flow to earth e.g. Secondary winding of an isolating transformer with no earth connection on the neutral line?
There are situations where the secondary of a transformer is not grounded and the neutral is not connected to the neutral of the primary. This can cause a potential shock hazard so the secondary side needs to be protected.
Is 126 volts three phase?
126 volts sounds very close to a standard home voltage of 120 volts, which is single phase. 208v is a three phase voltage, and is the lowest I have seen. 240 is single phase (usually center tapped, so in your house you have +120, and -120 referenced to the neutral which provides the normal 240 for dryers, stoves, etc.).
