A fuse is NOT fitted in the neutral phase of single phase domestic power supply. The fuse is fitted in the LINE (also mistakenly called Live).

If you have checked and found that the fuse is in the neutral, something is wrongly wired.

Can an electromechanical energy meter work without the neutral wire provided in the meter?

If the meter has 208-240V coming to it, no the neutral doesn't go through the meter. If the meter has only 120V incoming power such as many RV parks then the neutral does go to the line side of the meter or it won't work.


Is it possible to connect 3 phase 440 V without neutral line to the machine having 3 phase 4 wires with neutral line?

No, it is not possible to connect a 3-phase 440 V system without a neutral line to a machine that requires a 3-phase 4-wire connection with a neutral line. The neutral line must be present in both systems for proper operation and safety. Trying to connect them without the neutral line could cause damage to the machine and pose a safety hazard.


Why is it always connected in the phase or line wire to the switch and not the neutral wire?

because its much safer to switch the hot wire then the neutral wire because if you are working on a light fixture for example and the switch is off if you ground yourself out to the neutral you become the load or return. a neutral shock can me more dangerous at times


Is line wire also called live wire?

Line is the left hole of an outlet. Neutral is the right, and ground is the upside-down semicircle. A live wire is a wire with current flowing through it. Because neutral doesn't have any current in it, but line does, you could say that line is live. This explains why that you can be shocked from touching just the line. You can't be by touching just the neutral or ground. Line to neutral is the most deadliest if it travels across you. Line to ground will tingle a lot, but it won't necessarily kill you because the current draw isn't nearly as much as line to neutral. But basically line is the most dangerous part of an outlet, so line or live, both are dangerous. :P Female Electricity Geeks will rule the world. Does this question matter? We will all die anyways XD but yeah. That's the gist of it.


What do the electrical symbols L and N and A stand for when referring to live and neutral etc?

line neutral amperage

It is the same as phase to neutral. As the neutral is earthed at the electricity suppliers transformer.

Why no electric shock from neutral line?

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.


When the neutral switch is open where do the line current flow to?

There is never a switch installed in a neutral line.


Is the blue line a part of the neutral zone?

The blue line is what separates the neutral zone from a team's offensive and defensive zones.

How many wires supply electricity to your home?

There are three wires supplying power to your home two line wires @ 110 volts each and one nutral.


What is 3 phasesystem?

in the production of electricity, a generator having three armature coil is rotated. and thus electricity produced in three armature coils,with different phase. phase is the angle value of the sinusoidal waveform. these three lines with a common neutral line is transmitted. for bulk users, they can take connections from more than one line.


If in the three phase connection phase to phase voltage is 400v what will be the phase neutral voltage?

The formula to use is, phase voltage /1.73 = phase to neutral (ground) voltage.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'phase to phase', or 'phase to neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'. So the above answer should read: line voltage/1.73= line to neutral voltage = phase voltage.


How do you find neutral line among distribution lines?

US NEC: The neutral line is the white wire. Coming from the pole, it is the ground wire.
