The most likely place for heat build up in an electrical system, and hence fire, is the point with the most resistance. In this case right exactly where the loose neutral is.
However, for an electrician, the task of fixing a loose neutral is generally very small. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to locate and fix, and so, no more fire!
If in doubt, please contact a registered electrician.

What is a three point starter?

A three point starter is a device that is meant to help start a DC motor. A three point starter will start device without much starting current.


Why dining room lights go on and off intermittently?

Check for loose wiring at the light itself and also at the light switch. There can also be a loose wire anywhere in the circuit supplying power to that light switch. Start at the light itself and work backwards in the circuit until you find the loose wire.


Where do you ground a delta delta transformer?

In a delta-delta transformer, none of the actual conductors are grounded, directly or indirectly. You do, however, always ground the casing. This is protective earth ground, or PE ground, as opposed to neutral, which is grounded at the distribution panel, but which is a current carrying conductor. PE ground is not a current carrying conductor - it is a safety ground. Some texts use the term grounded conductor to refer to neutral, and grounding conductor to refer to PE ground. Simplest designation is neutral and ground. In summary, for a delta-delta transformer, there is no neutral, but there is always a ground. There is always a ground in any circuit, even when there is a neutral, and, except in a few special cases, those are two different connections.


How do you start a DC motor if there is no 3 point starter?

By the use of auto transformer and bridge rectifier we can start dc motor.


What causes intermittent continuity between ground and neutral?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.When installed properly, there should always be continuity between ground and neutral because they are bonded together at the service. If continuity is intermittent, something is loose. I would start by checking your bond in the service panelAs always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Most likely your safety neutral switch or your PRNDL swith is going bad Go to a transmission shop and have it replaced. Or possibly the linkage is loose. Also go to a transmission shop and have it repaired.

What could be wrong if a 1994 ford explorer xlt dies at random times and i have to put it in neutral to restart it again?

This could be caused by a multitide of problems, but I would check for a bad or loose ground strap on the engine first. It is normal to have to shift to park or neutral to start your engine. If it is only neutral and not park, I would start troubleshooting the safety switch.


1996 Ford F150 will not start the shift lever on the column is very loose Is there a contact switch in the column linkage that completes the circuit for the ignition?

Yes, there is a lockout switch that will not allow the starter to engage if the engine is not in Neutral or Park. If that switch fails, is loose or not adjusted properly the engine will not start.


Your F150 will not start and will not take a jump the alternator solenoid and battery were replaced is it most likely the starter?
