In terms of hot,neutral,ground, the neutral is classed as the common. In regards to a switch which has a NO, NC, C. This is classed as a C form switch. It has a common terminal, a normally open terminal and a normally closed terminal. Depending on the position of the switch handle the circuit can be either open or closed.

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.

What is the difference between thermosetting and thermoplastic cable?

The terms are used to categorise cable insulation according to its properties, such as its operating temperature, rather than the ingredients from which it is are made.These terms are now used by the IEE Wiring Regulations to describe insulation formerly described, for example, as 'pvc' (a 'thermoplastic' material) or rubber ( a 'thermosetting' material).


How do you get a split phase 120v 240v power supply from a single phase 240v supply for an American RV with a 50 amp service?

This is a common misconception. A standard 240 utility feed, common in the US, and a 120/240 feed are one in the same, the exact same thing. It is called (historically) an Edison connection.If you have a 240 volt single-phase supply, with two hot conductors, a neutral, and a ground wire, then you already have 120/240 service.If you do not understand the terms above, then hire a qualified electrician to make the connection for you.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What color is common wire?

Normally the white wire is neutral, and the black is hot. But if the power comes into the ceiling box and the light is controlled by a switch leg the white my very well be hot. If there is only one wire in the switch box that is a switch leg.

Is blue wire positive?

If you are talking about the wiring of buildings/houses then blue would be a hot with ac current. If you mean wire in electronics then it would also "usually" be a positive but if there is any danger you should never assume. A tester could save you from having to buy a new component or your life.AnswerThe European convention is that blue insulation indicates a neutral conductor, brown, black, or grey insulation indicates a line conductor, and a yellow/green striped conductor indicates an earth conductor.

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 is the meaning of the DC electrical terms Positive Neutral and Negative?

DC means "direct current." Normally this is provided by a battery or transformer. Positive - The positive contact where current flows into a circuit. Neutral - The ground wire in case something happens like a surge. Negative - The negative contact where current leaves.

What is a neutral solution?

A neutral solution can refer to many things, though I assume you mean in terms of pH. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7. Pure water has this pH value.
