Touching one wire can cause an electric shock if you complete a circuit by touching the ground simultaneously. Severity depends on voltage, current, and body resistance. Safety precautions are...

In a single-phase system, the neutral wire matches the size of the phase wire, promoting a balanced current flow. However, in three-phase systems, the neutral may be thinner due to lower current...

You don’t put the switch on the neutral wire. The live wire has a high potential. The neutral and ground wires have zero potential. The difference in electrical potential allows the current to flow...

Some people won’t hesitate to touch the neutral wire because it has 0 volts, or so they’ve been told. But is that true? The guide below has the answers. Is Neutral 0V? Electricians tend to...

What would cause a neutral wire to become hot? The neutral wire provides a return path for the current. It shouldn’t pose a threat to the consumer. If yours is clearly hot, you should investigate...

The circuit cannot work without a neutral wire. But does that mean the neutral line has a current? How can you measure it? Is it dangerous? The guide below will tell you. Is There Current In...
