If a neutral breaks the load will cease to operate.
short circuit
there will be no neutral point in the circuit and high voltage will be across the transformer coils
It would happen in case of 3phase domestic use where consumer side load balancing is not being done and there is loose connection in the neutral wire. Due to the unbalance and poor neutral, the system neutral will be shifted and un balanced voltages will be recorded in all the 3 phases of the house. The phase loaded with much utilities will indicate less voltage and other will have high voltage. Gadgets connected to this phase will be damaged.
What you need to define is the statement "utility- sized electrical generator". It depends on what the generators output is used for as to the way it is internally wired. In some configurations there is no neutral to ground as in a Delta configuration.If the generator is configured for a Wye output and the neutral centre tap is not grounded there will be a floating voltage between the generator and the utility system ground. It is for this reason that the generator's neutral point is grounded to bring the floating voltage down to zero volts to ground.
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.
Start the car, press breaks, switch to neutral gear, turn the engine off, release breaks (use manual breaks).
poptarts happen
It breaks
You die:(
short circuit
Current needs a return path to earth to flow. The neutral carries this flow. Therefore, no neutral and no current flow.
The neutral object will probably get an induced polarity.
ambot
You will be stranded.
The "neutral safety switch"? There isn't one, which you will appreciate the day your clutch cable breaks and you've got to float gears to get home.
Earthquakes will happen.
that will never happen
