The correct answer is 120 volts between the hot conductor and neautral in a residential dwelling.You can have 347 volts between the neautral and hot in a commercial space.

208 volt 12 amps versus 277 volt 6 amps?

It is hard to see a question here. Both of these voltages are currently use in electrical systems today. Both voltages are related to three phase systems. A voltage of 208 volts is a three phase wye system that has a voltage of 208 between lines L1, L2 and L3 and 120 volts between any of the lines and neutral. A voltage of 277 is the line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt three phase wye system. There is a voltage of 480 between L1, L2 and L3 and 277 volts between any of the lines and neutral.


Is it necessary to balance a house fuse panel to save electricity and if so why and how is it done?

A balanced house panel should be the ultimate goal. It will not save you electricity as the watt meter on the house monitors the use of power from both legs of the incoming power. To balance a panel you want the current from L1 to Neutral to equal L2 to Neutral. The neutral carries the unbalanced current between L1 and L2. A perfectly balanced panel will have no current on the neutral. It is done by knowing what the current draw is on every breaker. Then they are physically positioned so that they equal each other on the opposite leg. e.g. breaker 1 on leg L1 = 5 amps, breaker 2 on leg L2 = 10 amps, breaker 3 on leg L1 = 10 amps, breaker 4 on leg L2 = 5 amps. Total up all amperages on L1 and then on L2 , if they are equal then the panel is balanced with no current on the neutral.

What is the difference between 5 amps and 10 amps?

The main difference between 5 amps and 10 amps is the amount of current flowing through a circuit. 10 amps is double the amount of current compared to 5 amps, which means a 10 amp circuit can handle twice as much power without overloading.


What is the difference between 220 amps and 240 amps?

The difference between 220 amps and 240 amps lies in their amperage ratings. 220 amps denotes a current capacity of 220 amperes, while 240 amps indicates a current capacity of 240 amperes. The higher the amperage, the greater the power capacity for electrical devices.

Does neutral wire carry voltage in a closed circuit?

The ground wire should carry no current at all, it is there in case of a short circuit to carry the (short circuit) current back to the breaker panel to trip the breaker. The neutral will carry the unbalanced load current between the 240 volt legs. e.g. L1 and N (neutral) 120 volts the load draws 8 amps. L2 and N (same neutral) 120 volts the load draws 12 amps. The difference between the two amperages is what the neutral will carry 12 - 8 = 4 amps.


What is the difference between miliamps and amps?

A miliamp is one one thousandth of an ampere. So, the difference is that a miliamp is much smaller than an ampere.


What is difference between the mcb and rcb?

MCB stands for miniature circuit breaker , which provides protection against over current. the setting is not adjustable. RCB stands for residual circuit breaker which provides protection against earth fault as well as over current. It monitors the current difference between phase and neutral and if the difference is more than rated value say 200 milli amps it will trip.

If you have an electrical circuit of 15 amps how many amp's are on the neutral?

15 amps out and 15 amps back... unless there is a ground fault, but if that's the case you should shut down the device anyway.The answer above applies to the U.S. and Canada for 120 volt load or for a European 240V load.Note that in North America 240V it is different: For a US or Canada 240 volt load or a balanced three-phase load, there is no current flowing in the neutral.
