What else can I help you with?
Why is it that when you touch the neutral in a box that is not connect to the panel cause the test light to come when touching the power wire?
It shouldn't. The open end of a non connected neutral should have the same potential as the voltage feeding the circuit. The only time a voltage will show is when the return neutral is tested with a meter to the neutral bar or the ground return bar. It will then show what the supply voltage to the connected load is. Once this neutral is connected to the neutral bar there will be no voltage shown across the test meter between the neutral and the neutral bar or the ground bar.
Why do white wire mark 120v?
Because the white wire on a 120 volt circuit is the neutral wire that is connected to the silver screw on outlets and switches. It is connected to the neutral bar in the service panel.
Which side of the White neutral wire do you connect the Black power wire?
The neutral wire and power wire are never connected together.
What are white black and green colors represent on electrical wires?
In the US, the common usage of these colors is: BLACK: Hot - connected to one phase of the service AC. WHITE: Connected to the Neutral of the service AC. GREEN: Connected to the GROUND bus at the service entrance. At the service entrance, the GROUND and the NEUTRAL bus are connected together.
What color wire is connected to the silver screw in an incandescent fixture?
In most electrical devices the neutral wire is connected under the silver coloured screw.
Should neutral wire of lamp be connected to the 3amp or the 6 amp side of a canopy switch?
You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.
What is the charge on a conductor connected to "ground"?
When a conductor is connected to "ground," it becomes neutral and carries no charge.
Why is it that when you touch the neutral in a box that is not connect to the panel cause the test light to come when touching the power wire?
It shouldn't. The open end of a non connected neutral should have the same potential as the voltage feeding the circuit.

Is neutral connected to earth in main panel?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Yes, the neutral is connected to a system ground in the main distribution panel.
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.
How does a phase leg connect to a neutral in an electrical circuit?
A phase leg connects to the neutral through the connected load.
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.
Why do white wire mark 120v?
Because the white wire on a 120 volt circuit is the neutral wire that is connected to the silver screw on outlets and switches. It is connected to the neutral bar in the service panel.
All three legs of my dimmer are hot?
If the hot is connected to the supply and it is turned on and the switch is turned on and the neutral not connected this could be quite true. Connect the neutral to the supply neutral and shut the switch off. Now the only reading that you should get is the hot supply.
Excuse me, may I ask if there are any gender-neutral options available, sir or ma'am"?
"Excuse me, are there any gender-neutral options available?"
Condition of three phase in which there is no need of neutral?
A delta-connected system is described as being a three-phase, three-wire, system, and doesn't have a neutral. But a balanced star (wye) connected load (e.g. a three-phase induction motor) doesn't actually require a neutral.
Can the sub panel neutral and ground wires be connected to the same bus bar?
No, the sub panel neutral and ground wires should not be connected to the same bus bar. They should be connected to separate bus bars to ensure proper grounding and safety in the electrical system.
