Neutral is the current return for the hot leg(s). Neutral is grounded, so as to limit the maximum voltage of any of the hots with respect to earth ground.
In a typical residential 120/240VAC split phase system, either of the hots with respect to neutral is 120VAC.
In a three phase system, neutral is at the center of the wye configuration, and each of the three hots returns power to it.

What is the Color of neutral wire in 120 volt circuit?
For wiring in the USA the Neutral conductor is required to be white or gray by the National Electrical Code.
What size neutral conductor for 100 amp panel?
#2 Copper with TW insulation is required for 100 amp loads #3 Copper with R90 insulation is rated at 105 amps.
What happens to a substance when it changes from acid to neutral?
a substance which is classified as neutral has a ph of 7- using universal indicator this will result in green. an acid is anything from ph1 to ph6 depending on the concentration of the acid, to neutralise an acid from a ph of 6 or below an alkali is required, so when an acid turns neutral it has either reacted with an alkaline substance or has a higher ph
Is a neutral solution a acid or a base?
A neutral solution is true neutral with a pH of 7,00.
Would the black wire be line 1 on 240V line in?
On a 240 volt circuit both line wires are hot, so they may both be black, depending on the wire used. There is normally no neutral required unless you are also tapping off 120 volts between hot and neutral.
What is the Color of neutral wire in 120 volt circuit?
For wiring in the USA the Neutral conductor is required to be white or gray by the National Electrical Code.
Why neutral is not requied in 3 phase?
As far as I understand, you don't need neutral line for connecting appliances that is 3-phase compilant. You only need the neutral line to connect a single phase appliance, which you connect along with one of the three lines.
When at a stop light should you shift into neutral?
Not required. In an auto transmission the gear is at its lowest when the brake is engaged and uses the same amount of fuel as in neutral. In manual transmission, I have seen few people shifting to neutral but again it is not required, you may put it at the lowest gear and keep your brake and clutch engaged while at stop light.
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?
Ionization Energy or electron energy
What is the energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms called?
The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms is called bond energy.
Does a three phase motor have a neutral?
No, three phase motors do not actually have neutral line unless you are referring to the motor control centre where a neutral line is required when your control coils and other components are single phase operated
Is a ground fault protection for equipment required even if the neutral will not be used?
Yes, ground fault protection for equipment is requiredeven if the neutral will not be used.However, the question implies that it might not be required if there is a neutral. That is not true. With two exceptions, ground fault protection is always required in the US, and it is probably required in other countries as well.The exceptions are the use of an electric cooking range, and an electric clothes dryer. In those cases, the US NEC allows the neutral conductor to also be the ground fault conductor, except for the case where the range or dryer is in a mobile home. In the case of the mobile home, the ground fault conductor and the neutral conductor must be maintained separate and distinct all the way back to the distribution panel.In every other case, including where local code overrides the US NEC's exceptions, it must be understood that ground fault protection (protective earth ground) is not the same as neutral, even though the neutral conductor is grounded.
What was the Germany required to surrender in the armistice?
They surrendered their U-boats Germany was to surrender to neutral or Allied ports 10 battleships.
What size neutral conductor for 100 amp panel?
#2 Copper with TW insulation is required for 100 amp loads #3 Copper with R90 insulation is rated at 105 amps.
Why neutral is not required for vacuum circuit breaker?
Air-blast circuit breakers are used to disconnect high-voltage transmission or distribution circuits in the event of a fault. One circuit breaker is required for each of the three line conductors; there is not normally a neutral conductor in high-voltage three-phase transmission/distribution lines.
What is Dielectrical Insulation withstand level?
for 11 kv non effectively neutral earthed system what is basic Insulation level required?
What is a list of neutral words?
It is hard to understand what you mean by "neutral" words. Every word has a purpose, so it is impossible for a word to be impassive. At the very least it is redundant in a given sentence and at the most it can be virulently aggressive. You might mean "neutral" according to gender, or the neutrality of the structure that is required of a good non-fiction assignment.GENDERPerfectCleverSmartNaturaletc.NEUTRALITY IN WRITINGOpinionClaimsAccordingetc.
