What else can I help you with?
Difference between ground and neutral?
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
What will happen without a neutral wire?
Current needs a return path to earth to flow. The neutral carries this flow. Therefore, no neutral and no current flow.
Does neutral carry current in an electrical circuit?
No, neutral does not carry current in an electrical circuit. It is used as a return path for current to flow back to the source.
Is current from a generator flows through the phase line and return through neutral to generator?
Yes, except that the correct term is 'line' conductor, not a 'phase' conductor.
Why zero sequence current cannot flow through a star connected machine unless the neutral is grounded?
If the neutral point is not earthed than the zero sequence current will not have any return path.It will be an open circuit for the zero sequence circuit.
Will an arc fault breaker work without a ground?
Yes a GFCI will work without a ground wire. A GFCI looks for a current differential between current in on the "hot" wire and current return on the neutral wire. Since current is the same throughout the circuit, no difference, no trip. If the load grounds out or shorts out, the current then takes the path of least resistance through the ground and not the neutral. This creates a difference between the "hot" and return neutral current and the device trips the circuit open.
Why neutral wire does not carry current in closed ac circuit?
The neutral wire does carry current in a closed AC circuit. Clamp a clamp on amp meter around the neutral wire directly after the circuit load and it will read the same current as is on the "hot" wire.
Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?
Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
Do neutral wires carry current in an electrical circuit?
No, neutral wires do not carry current in an electrical circuit. They are used to complete the circuit and provide a return path for the current to flow back to the source.
Does an ac unit need a neutral wire?
yes the current has to travel back to the source, so it needs the neutral wire for its return path
What is the purpose of the live and neutral wires in an electrical circuit?
The live wire carries the current to the electrical device, while the neutral wire completes the circuit by providing a return path for the current.
What does the neutral wire do in an electrical circuit?
The neutral wire in an electrical circuit provides a return path for the current to flow back to the power source. It helps balance the electrical load and ensures the safety of the circuit by providing a path for excess current to return to the source.
