In 1806 General James Wilkinson tried to settle the border disputes between Texas and Louisiana. He helped to set up a neutral zone between the Sabine River and the Arroyo Hondo. The Neutral Ground Agreement stated that no Spanish or United Stated troops could occupy this land until the border conflict was resolved. Outlaws frequently used this neutral zone to escape the law.

Why wasn't the neutral ground agreement successful?

It wasn't successful because smugglers and fugitives from both Spanish and American territories could escape the law.


What is the reading ground to neutral?

Ideally ground and neutral should be at the same potential, but as there is current in the neutral wire and no current (normally) in the ground wire there can be a difference. I have personally measured over 25 VAC on the neutral relative to ground in some systems.


Difference between ground and neutral?

As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current


Why do some electric panel have ground and neutral bonded together?

By National Electric Code only the Main Panel should bond ground and neutral. If subpanels have ground and neutral bonded, it could cause ground loops and shock hazards.


What happens when negotiations go to arbitration?

Arbitration works by bringing three parties together, the two parties that require arbitration and a third neutral party. The neutral party works together with the other parties to try to come to an amicable agreement.

Why no electric shock from neutral line?

There is normally no voltage on the neutral line because the neutral line is grounded. However, and this is always important, do not assume that neutral is grounded, nor that there is not an elevated voltage on neutral or ground due to a possible ground fault.


When wiring a range the outlet has a neutral ground and 2 hots you have three wires do you put the bare wire in the neutral or ground on the outlet?

the bare copper is always a ground


Is it OK illegal or dangerous to connect the neutral to ground to make the circuit work?

If you have to connect the neutral to ground to make the circuit work then you have an open neutral in your circuit. Be careful in handling the neutral as there can be voltage potential on the neutral if a load is connected. In a properly wired home that has been inspected by the local electrical inspector the neutral should be bonded to the ground at the main service distribution point. There will be a green screw that projects through the neutral bus and is threaded into the back of the electrical panel. This should be the one and only place in the whole electrical system where this neutral to ground connection takes place. Dangerous!!!!! The ground is the safety to prevent you from getting shocked due to a malfunctioning piece of equipment. By using the ground for a neutral you will be energizing the entire ground system of you house or business. Thus anything with metal on it and a ground wire going to it will be electrified if the ground fails at the breaker box or building ground rod. Do you want to take this risk? Not I..........


Why are the GFCI breakers nuisance tripping in your 100 amp sub panel- is it because neutral bonded to ground?

It may be the GFCI breaker is defective. Make sure it is wired correctly. Neutral to neutral bar and ground to ground bar.


What does neutral do?

Neutral wires are actually ground wires. They enable the circuit to be completed.
