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.

Why neutral wire does not carry current in closed ac circuit?
The neutral wire does carry current in a closed AC circuit. Clamp a clamp on amp meter around the neutral wire directly after the circuit load and it will read the same current as is on the "hot" wire.
240 volt what is loop is it neutral?
A 240-volt circuit typically consists of two hot wires and a ground wire, with no neutral wire. The hot wires each carry 120 volts, while the ground wire is used for safety purposes. In a 240-volt circuit, the hot wires complete a loop by connecting to a load or device that requires the higher voltage to operate.
Why Hot and neutral are both hot?
You'll have to explain your problem better.If HOT black and Neutral White in your house wiring are both hot then Neutral is NOT bounded to ground in main panel and neutral could be floating. There should be no voltage between Neutral and Ground (Bare wire in panel). By code if there are multiple panels Ground is only bonded to Neutral in th emain entry panel. I have seen cases where this bonding was not done. At your main panel check voltage between neutral and ground. It should be zero.
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
How do you build a circuit?
Three main components that are needed to build a circuit will be a power source. This supplies the circuit with a voltage to operate. A load to make the current flow through the circuit, and conductors to join these two devices together to carry the current.
Does the neutral wire carry voltage in an electrical circuit?
Yes, the neutral wire in an electrical circuit does carry voltage, but it is typically close to 0 volts compared to the hot wire which carries the higher voltage.
Why neutral wire does not carry current in closed ac circuit?
The neutral wire does carry current in a closed AC circuit. Clamp a clamp on amp meter around the neutral wire directly after the circuit load and it will read the same current as is on the "hot" wire.
Does neutral carry current in an electrical circuit?
No, neutral does not carry current in an electrical circuit. It is used as a return path for current to flow back to the source.
Does the neutral wire carry current in an electrical circuit?
Yes, the neutral wire carries current in an electrical circuit, but it is designed to carry the current back to the power source to complete the circuit.
Does a neutral wire carry current in an electrical circuit?
Yes, a neutral wire carries current in an electrical circuit.
Do neutral wires carry current in an electrical circuit?
No, neutral wires do not carry current in an electrical circuit. They are used to complete the circuit and provide a return path for the current to flow back to the source.
Does the neutral wire have power in an electrical circuit?
No, the neutral wire does not carry power in an electrical circuit. It is used to complete the circuit and provide a return path for the current.
Do neutral wires have voltage in electrical circuits?
No, neutral wires do not have voltage in electrical circuits. They are designed to carry current back to the power source and are typically at or near ground potential.
Why we don't get shock if we touch neutral wire..we need two wires to close circuit pH and n when circuit closes current will flow around the circuit and one wire gets shocked other not why?
We don't get shocked when we touch neutral and ground because neutral is grounded back at the distribution panel, so the effective voltage between neutral and ground is very low. It won't be zero, because there is current flowing on neutral, causing a voltage difference between the load and the distribution panel, but it is low enough, assuming there is no malfunction, to not cause a shock.In the case of touching hot and neutral, or hot and ground, you will get shocked because there is line voltage between hot and neutral, and because neutral and ground are connected together, there is also line voltage between hot and ground.Note, however, that connecting a load between hot and ground is a violation of the code and the intent of the design, because ground is not rated to carry current except in short term fault conditions - you must always connect a load between hot and neutral, or between hot and hot, as the case may be.

What is the purpose of a feedthrough?
A feedthrough is a conductor used to carry a signal through a circuit board. They have two main catagories which are power and instrumentation. Power feedthroughs are used to carry a high pwer or high voltage. Instrumentation are used to carry a low voltage electric signal.
Is the neutral conductor of a two wire single phase circuit considered a current carrying conductor?
Sure. In a two-wire circuit, both wires carry equal currents.
