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.

What happens when fuse is given to neutral?
A fuse should always be inserted into the line conductor, never the neutral conductor. If a fuse has been inserted, inadvertently, into the neutral, an overload will still operate the fuse, but the line voltage will not be isolated from the circuit -thus presenting a shock hazard. Furthermore, it will not protect against an earth (ground) fault that occurs in the circuit.
Will an electric shock cause a nosebleed?
I just gave myself an electric shock while TIG welding, and got a nosebleed, so it would appear the answer is yes.
What happens if someone touches a high voltage wire?
If they are grounded they get an electric shock or electrocuted. If they are not grounded or in simultaneous contact with the neutral wire, nothing. That's why birds can sit on a high voltage wire and survive; they are not grounded.
What colour code for 3 pin plug in NZ?
The live wire is brown in coulor while the earth wireis green and yellow in color and neutral wire is blue in colour. Uses of these three wire: Live wire:It's connected with fuse.It carries a voltage which drives electric current through the electrical appliances. Earth wire:It is a safety device and protect us from electric shock. Neutral wire:It offers a return path by electric current.
Why do you not use metal ladders while working on electric circuits?
shock risk
Why neutral wire doesn't give electric shock?
The neutral wire doesn't give an electric shock because it is the same potential as ground. That being said if you come in contact with the "hot" wire and the neutral or ground wire, you become the load and will receive a substantial shock.
Will an electric power line shock a person?
Yes it will
Why you get an electric shock if you touch live and neutral wire?
When you touch both the live and neutral wires, a difference in electric potential exists, creating a circuit through your body. This allows current to flow, resulting in an electric shock. The human body is a conductor of electricity, and the shock can disrupt normal electrical signals in the body, potentially causing injury or even death.
Why can you touch a neutral bar?
A neutral bar in an electrical panel is typically grounded, which helps to prevent electric shock. Because it is at the same electrical potential as the ground, touching it should not result in an electric shock. It's still important to always exercise caution when working with electrical components.
Will you get electric shock when standing in a river which is effected by electric lines?
in wet grassYes, depending how close you are to the fallen power line, the amount of electric shock will vary. Electricity is much, much faster than moving water.
What are electric eels adaptations?
The electric eel's adaptations is #1, the electric shock.
Whats the difference between electric shock and electrocuted?
Electric shock is to electrocuted as burned is to cremated. Electric shock is the same as electrocuted, except that electrocuted has actually induced death; to kill by electric shock.
Why should we remove a person in electric shock from the electric line using a dry wooden pole?
Removing a person in electric shock using a dry wooden pole is safer because wood is a poor conductor of electricity, reducing the risk of electric shock transferring to the rescuer. Using a dry wooden pole also helps to keep the rescuer at a safe distance from the electric current, minimizing the chances of injury to themself. It is important to avoid direct contact with the person in shock or the electric line to prevent further harm.
Why a small bird do not get shock but a big bird get shock on a power transmission line?
A large bird will not get a shock unless its wingspan is great enough to reach from a transmission line to the neutral. Many poles have been redesigned because many raptors have electrocuted from poles that had the lines too close together.
Whether muscles get paralyzed on electric shock?
Muscles do not get paralyzed on electric shock from the AED.
Will you get an electic shock if you wee on an electric fence?
The electric shock will probably bang you right in the kitty
Why do electric guitars shock you if your barefoot?
They shouldn't if you get an electric shock while playing there is a fault with your equipment.
