When a phase line touches the neutral by any conducting material means the Short Circuit. If there is a short circuit then the current in that circuit will be much higher and this increase in current may damage the the devices that are connected to that line.

How can you lay earthing strip on cable tray?

no use laying an earthing strip in a cable tray better tap both the ends of the earthing wire to the trunking,it will save your wire also,or lay out a cable in the other trunking where you have low voltage wire running in.


What is the difference between earthing boss and earthing lug and where to use?

An earthing boss and earthing lug are parts of a grounding connection. An earthing boss is in a casting that allows for the drilling and tapping of hole. A earthing lug is used to bond a wire to the ground.

Why does an thick earthing wire?

A thick earthing wire, or a wide, flat conductor, is preferred, because it's more important to minimize henrys (inductance) in the earthing system than to reduce ohms (resistance). For the same reason, corners and small angles in an earthing conductor should be avoided, and the conductor should approach any connections from a parallel direction.


What happens if neutral and hot touch each other?

If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.


What will happen if two phases collides each other in three phase four wire system?

Generally if two phases are overlapped high voltage appears across the load . . . Before tht the generally a three phase 4 wire exists at outgoing of transformer hence at house hold applications the service mains trips . . .AnswerI think you mean. 'What happens when two line conductors touch each other?' The answer is that there will be a short-circuit, which will cause the protection system to disconnect the circuit.
