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...
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...
Is There Current In Neutral Wire? (It’s Causes & Troubleshooting Tips)
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...
Color codes matter, and they’ve been around for longer than you realize. This article from The Institution of Engineering and Technology has a picture of wiring rules from IEE’s 7th Edition...
