On a differential amplifier while there is some voltage offset there is also current offset which is dependent on the value of the F/B resistance the bigger value the more offset.

What is the reason why the neutral is not used on high resistance grounding?

The question doesn't provide enough detail to give a definitive answer. The neutral PD is often used in protective functions on high resistance grounded generators (when grounded through a transformer). High resistance grounding limits the use of transformers - you must be using balanced loads, since very little current will flow (typically around 5-20amperes max) to the neutral. Because of this, phase to neutral values (such as voltage) are meaningless. Any current flowing in the neutral will cause an offset in all three phases from neutral. Since the neutral is high resistance grounded, it does not take a significant amount of current to cause significant offset.


What are two sources of dc output error voltages?

A: I imagine op amps. If that is the case there are two sources of output errors related to the input. One is that the input diode while conducting are not at the same potential due to miss match of the diodes the other is current offset due basically for the same reason miss match of current pathways.

What do you mean by offset adjustment in electronics?

Voltage or current Offset is the voltage or current seen at the outputeven when no input is applied. This happens due to various reasons such as imbalance in the device, asymmetry and many more. So, offset adjustment means, providing the required input externally, so that the output voltage and current are zero.

In a voltage follower, voltage gain is 1, with an offset of VB-E, and current gain is hFe, limited, of course, by the available current in the supply and by the rating of the transistor.
