Why would there be low voltage in your 110 volt outlet when the breaker is off?
Most likely due to a floating neutral i.e. the neutral is not properly connected to the earth point at the point of origin of the supply.
What is Neutral Question?
A neutral question is straight-forward. It doesn't have your opinion in it. You aren't assuming you know the answer already. Your question is clear and gets right to the point.
Is the neutral wire consider a hot wire?
Neutral is neither Hot nor ground. Neutral is the return wire for electrical service. It is a requirement , by law, that the Neutral Wire Feed into an electrical service box (main panel) be BONDED to the box and the Earth ground. Thie effectively makes the neutral in circuits out of the service panel equal to ground. But as it enters the service panel from the utility and meter pan, it is not ground. <<>> The only time that the neutral can have voltage on it is if it gets disconnected from the distribution point. Then the voltage that is supplied to the load will continue through the load and stop at the disconnection point. If you touch the uninsulated part of the neutral wire and touch any grounded equipment at the same time your body will act as a conductor for the load circuit. You will receive a nasty shock. This scenario is the only time that the neutral is "hot".
What will happen if neutral and ground wire is shorted?
Nothing will happen if the neutral and ground wire is shorted. The electrical code makes it mandatory that the neutral and ground are brought together at a common point within the distribution panel. On a 120/240 volt distribution system the ground wire is terminated at the point where the service neutral terminated in the distribution panel. It is usually a double lug the neutral wire connecting into one hole and the ground wire connecting into the other hole. Through this lug assembly there is a machine screw that is inserted through the lug assembly and it screws into the metallic enclosure of the distribution panel. This action bonds the metal enclosure, neutral wire and ground wire bringing the point to a common potential of zero.
Why it is necessary to earth the star point of three phase circuit?
The star or neutral point is earthed at the supply transformer to prevent the system building up a static electric charge in dry weather.
What do you mean by nutral point?
What is neutral point
What is the neutral point of the magnet?
In a combined magnetic field, a neutral point is a place where the magnetic field is zero
What is the neutral point of the magnetic field?
In a combined magnetic field, a neutral point is a place where the magnetic field is zero
Where can one find a neutral connection point?
A person can find a neutral connection point is testing the continuity of every neutral connection. This technique will enable a person to find a bad connection point.
What is the point from two objects if it is the same distance from the object?
neutral point
What is a neutral point?
The point in the magnetic field at which the horizontal components of earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field due to magnet are exactly opposite & equal is known as neutral point.
What is the difference between neutral point and earthing?
Earthing point is where conductor is directly connected to ground and its potential is always zero. Neutral is a return path in single phase system and in three phase system Neutral point will have zero potential if all the loads are balanced in the system. In un balanced three phase system even neutral point will have some potential
What is the neutral of PH?
The neutral point is 7. Anything below that is an acid, and anything above the pH of 7 is a base.
How do the earth active and neutral wires work in a house?
Neutral mean is zero potential and neutral wire it has been taken from the Distribution Transformer " Y " point (Xo). This point " Xo " is directly grounded through the dedicated grounding system.
Definition of neutral?
Neutral refers to the central point of measurement. Eg. If pH is considered the pH 7.0 is considered neutral In the case of decision making if a person is neither not for nor for then he is said to be neutral.
What is the reason of the existence of a potential difference between the neutral point of the generator and the neutral point of the receiver?
Ground loop current, which is undesirable and every effort should be made to eliminate it.
What is the center of the pH scale?
The neutral point is at pH=7.
