system will b damaged or destroyed in case of failures.............if we provide neutral d short ckt current passed through earth directly ,with out disturbing the system
Some older wire does not have a ground. All you can do in that case is use a jumper wire to connect the ground to the neutral.
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.
There is no such thing as a 'neutral phase'. 'Live' or 'hot' conductors are called 'lines', whereas the neutralconductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential.So, a toaster would be connected between a line and a neutral conductor.
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.
If there is no ground wire connect the ground wire to the neutral wire.
Some older wire does not have a ground. All you can do in that case is use a jumper wire to connect the ground to the neutral.
If the meter is sensitive enough and there is a resistance between the neutral and ground then the meter should be able to detect it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!The protective earth ground wire is only there to provide a low resistance path to ground in the event of a short circuit so as to trip the protective device. Operational current is never, under any circumstances allowed to be passed on earth ground. Use neutral for neutral and ground for ground.CONSULT A QUALIFIED AND LICENSED ELECTRICIAN !!!!
In North America the neutral pin is used to complete the circuit. One pin is "hot", one pin is neutral and the last pin is ground.
line to line or line to neutral is the only way to use power line to ground if a FAULT current in the ground is a problem that needs to be corrected, an insulation fault
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
A neutral bar is where the neutral wires from the circuits are connected, while a ground bar is where the ground wires are connected. The neutral bar carries the current back to the power source, while the ground bar provides a path for excess electricity to safely dissipate into the ground.
The neutral to ground voltage in electrical systems is important because it helps to ensure the safety of the system. When the neutral to ground voltage is at the correct level, it means that there is a proper connection between the neutral and ground wires, which helps to prevent electrical shocks and fires. Monitoring and maintaining the neutral to ground voltage is crucial for the overall safety and functionality of an electrical system.
Ground wire can be appropriately bonded to the neutral and cabinet at the service box by connecting the neutral and ground wires from the feeder wires to the neutral bus bar and the ground terminal located on the same cabinet at the service box. White wire (neutral) must be connected to bus bar and bare wire must be connected to ground terminal in the same cabinet.
Just checked and it does have a ground connection.
'Can' yes. 'Should' no. <<>> Never use a green wire for a neutral. It is colour coded for a reason and that is to protect the people that work on electrical equipment. If you turn a ground wire into a neutral it then becomes a current carrying conductor. There are times in the electrical trade when grounds have to be disconnected and if it is used as a neutral and the tradesman is holding one end and touching a grounded object a shock will occur. Again never use a green ground wire as a neutral.
What two colors may be used for the ground conductor (neutral)
