If you are working with a sub panel, there are a few reasons to isolate the neutral. Firstly, currents will then return to the main panel and service ground.

What is exactly the function of Neutral link in an electrical circuit?

To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.


What is use of neutral link?

In a MEN (Multiple Earth Neutral) system, the neutral wire is connected to the earth wire at the switchboard. This is the neutral link. From an electrical point of view the neutral pin and the earth pin in a power socket are at the same potential but from a safety point of view they are different. A residual current device (RCD) (or earth leakage core-balance-relay(ELCBR)) sits in series with both the active and the neutral feed and a leakage from either wire to ground (via a human or water leak in a washing machine etc) will trip the circuit breaker that is in the RCD.Another AnswerFuses or circuit breakers must be inserted into the line conductor, never into the neutral conductor. However, if we need to isolate the circuit, we must place a break in both the line and the neutral conductors. We can achieve this for the line conductor by, for example, removing the fuse. To achieve the same with the neutral conductor, we can open the neutral link, which is simply a short length of conductor inserted between a pair of terminals in the neutral.


What is vdg14 neutral displacement relay?

VDG14 is a type of neutral displacement relay used in electrical systems to protect against earth faults. It operates by measuring the current flow in different phases and the neutral conductor to detect any imbalance that may indicate a fault. This relay helps to quickly isolate the faulted section of the system to prevent further damage.
