When selecting neutrals and grounds for an electrical system, key considerations include ensuring proper sizing, proper installation, and adherence to electrical codes and standards. Neutrals provide a return path for current, while grounds protect against electrical faults and provide a safe path for current to flow in case of a fault. It is important to select neutrals and grounds that are compatible with the system voltage and current requirements to ensure safety and proper functioning of the electrical system.
