On a North American electrical distribution system this is quite normal and natural. The neutral connection point in a distribution panel is connected to the ground rod via the ground wire. So in effect the ground rod and the neutral are one in the same.

Which leg is 208 on 3 phase power?
On three phase 208 volts one leg does not have the potential of 208 volts. It takes two legs to provide the 208 volts. The potential is across AB, BC and CA. Voltage to the grounded neutral A-N, B-N and C-N will produce a potential of 120 volts. In a wye configured secondary three phase four wire you have the potential of 120/208 volts.
Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?
The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts
What size of current does the 1.5mm wire carry?
A 1.5 mm wire is rated at 13 amps at 120 volts.
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.

How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.

In a cental air unit which wires are black white and red?
the black wire is A phase, the red wire is B phase, and the white wire is the neutral. Black should have around 120 volts. Red should have 120 volts, and should add up to 240 volts with a multi meter.
What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts
What size of current does the 1.5mm wire carry?
A 1.5 mm wire is rated at 13 amps at 120 volts.
How do you wire a wire to a wire?
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
What size wire do you need for 2HP motor with 120 volts?
12/2 with ground.
If an electric heater has a red blue and green wire that has been cut off how do i know if its 120 volts or 240 volts?
A label.
How many watts can 110 wire carry?
The first thing we have to do is clarify between the two items. 120 volt wire rating is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. The ability of a wire to carry current (amps) is related to the size of the wire. Now, watts is the product of amps x volts. To answer this question, assuming the supply voltage is 110 volts, an amperage needs to be stated as per the formula above.
