What is color code for neutral earth pit?
You can not have a "neutral earth" the "neutral" and the "earth" are separate wires/connections and should not be cross connected or muddled up.
Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
Can you glow led by using neutral and earth?
If you connected neutral and earth (ground) to each lead in an LED and it glowed then this would be evidence of a ground fault.
Why dont you use earth wire place of neutral?
Earth is neutral, but only at the distribution panel and upstream from it. Downstream of the distribution panel, earth and neutral shall not interchange or cross connect their connections or their roles - earth is protective ground - and neutral the current carrying return conductor.
In parallel operation of diesel generators why one neutral contactor is used?
To avoid possible current loop through multiple neutral points

How do you reduce neutral to earth voltage in three phase system?
It is done by connecting the neutral to earth at the transformer that produces the three-phase supply. If the three phase wire supply equal currents, there is no current in the neutral wire and its whole length stays at earth potential, but if there is current in the neutral it produces a small voltage on the neutral at places away from the transformer.
What is meant by neutral grounding reactor?
Neutral-earthing reactors or Neutral grounding reactors are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.

What does F N E means on nippon denso alternator?
Field, Neutral, Earth. You only need a Field and Earth, the Neutral terminal can be left out.
What is use of neutral link?
In a MEN (Multiple Earth Neutral) system, the neutral wire is connected to the earth wire at the switchboard. This is the neutral link. From an electrical point of view the neutral pin and the earth pin in a power socket are at the same potential but from a safety point of view they are different. A residual current device (RCD) (or earth leakage core-balance-relay(ELCBR)) sits in series with both the active and the neutral feed and a leakage from either wire to ground (via a human or water leak in a washing machine etc) will trip the circuit breaker that is in the RCD.Another AnswerFuses or circuit breakers must be inserted into the line conductor, never into the neutral conductor. However, if we need to isolate the circuit, we must place a break in both the line and the neutral conductors. We can achieve this for the line conductor by, for example, removing the fuse. To achieve the same with the neutral conductor, we can open the neutral link, which is simply a short length of conductor inserted between a pair of terminals in the neutral.

Can there be 230 volt potential drop in both neutral and live socket practically?
This question is not quite clear but I will try it somehow. The voltage drop between the live and neutral, and live and earth will both be 230v, but the voltage drop between the neutral and earth is almost zero due to the fact that the neutral and earth is basically one conductor split.
What colour earth neutral and live in armoued cable?
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth
Why are the 3 wires colors?
Earth, Neutral and Acttive.
