I plugged a 110V television to a 220V outlet and had it blown in a few seconds, this explains that occurrence that happened more than a decade ago. Thanks Dr. Electrical Guy.
That should never be possible. Wes the neutral missing somewhere? 220v receptacles should have a completely different shape so 120v plugs should never fit
It is really great, easy and direct explanation, once the person understands the idea precisely he would explain it clearly as you did. Thanks for your golden efforts
Wow, one of the best explanations i ever listened on TH-cam. I want to add some practical application of not using neutral wire. For instance in transmission line we can not provide a neutral wire as we don't connect load
1)Sir at 2:17 how loads will work without neutral wire or without low potential path for each phase. 2) Sir in case of balanced single phase system do we need neutral wire ?
Thank you indeed for such a clear explanation of the importance of neutral wire. Would you please advise if presence of an RCD would help and if it would trip off in case there is a loss of neutral wire on three phase supply. Thank you.
In North American practice, the wye point of the primary in wye-delta three phase transformer banks (wye-primary; delta-secondary), is often disconnected from the neutral to balance the secondary voltages. This allows the wye point to "float".
That was nice and clear explanation, I just have one question in mind, in the unbalance load without neutral, voltages in all three phase will become unbalance too, but where does the unbalance current path back to the source if there is no more neutral conductor.
Yes (I think neutral current will not be more than phase current). In worst case, where waveforms are badly distorted, we can use neutral cable same size as other phase wire.
Thanks for the precious explanation .. Also wanted to know if a single phase RCCB connected to a load will trip if the loads in all the 3 phases are balanced (identical).
Thanks for sharing. If the neutral wire detected amps value, which is not negligible, can we assume the 3 phase loads are not balanced? Second question, if we found the voltage on each phase is not identical, can we assume there might be a problem with the neutral wire?
Dear Sir Thank you I have question: If I conected neutral wire with ground cable and neutral wire cut, is load will continue to work with out any problem? Is voltage and current will stay same? Regards Essam
After watching this video, I wanted to write this. First, we understand the CURRENT in a simple way. We are having an Over Head Tank at every house, right? From there we are having connections to our bath rooms, kitchen, utility etc. with the pipe line (Plumbing line). Once we open the tap, the water will flow from the Over Head Tank to the tap through the pipe line. We use / consume that water. Consider, you are having a Geyser at your house. It consumes current to operate. If we give some current by turning on the switch (Same as Water in the pipe line to the Tap) with required force, (Voltage) the Geyser will draw / Consume the power (As designed). Wires used in this are the Conductors which carry the current same as pipe line which carries water. Here the Power source would be Transformer same as Over Head Tank for water. We can draw the current as much as we required to our electrical gadgets. (But the transformer can not store the current as we store the water in Over Head Tank, Current comes directly from the Generating Station through Transformer) Example: Geyser Power (P) = 1000 Watts (Consider as Consumption of Water (Quantity) with specified force) Current (I) =? (Consider as Water which you are going to consume) Voltage (V) = 220 V (Consider as Pressure of Water flowing in the Pipe line) Formula: P = V X I That is, 1000 = 220 X I So Current (I) = 1000/220 = 4.5 Amps (Consider, you consumed 4.5 Litre of water) There is No Minus Current as told in this video. (Think about the Water, how will you minus the water?) Neutral Current will be zero if all the 3-Phase current is same. (Balanced) “All the current meeting at junction is Zero” according to Kirchhoff’s Current Law Consider, there are three houses with single phase power supply connection with different phases (R, Y B). House R - Consuming 5Amps House Y - Consuming 8Amps House B - Consuming 10Amps Then the Neutral Current would be √(R2 + Y2 + B2 - RY - RB - YB) √(52 + 82 + 102 - 5X8 - 5X10 - 8X10) √(25 + 64 + 100 - 40 - 50 - 80) √(189 - 170) = √19 = 4.36 Amps So, in this case, the unbalanced 3-Phase load Neutral Current will be 4.36 Amps. The Neutral Current would have been zero, if each Phase current would have 5 or 8 or 10Amps Neutral current will be high if the load is not equal in 3-Phase circuit. But it will be less when compare to each phase Maximum current. So always we use Half of the Phase Cable size for Neutral in 3-Phase loads, considering the balanced load.
Video is cristal clear but could you explain how the risk of unbalanced phases is coped with in distribution networks without neutral ? Like where I live
The question is in 220 V single phase system if we remove the neutral wire(meaning we only have hot wires) can the current complete the circuit back to the transformer?
If there is current in neutral then why dont we get electric shock at neutral? If one says that neutral has 0 potential then what does that actually mean? Aren't we supposed to get phase in neutral too if phase changes in AC current??
Sir, I have a question. If I connect unbalanced loads in Delta configuration then there is no opportunity for existing neutral wire. Then what is the voltage across the each load?
Let me ask a question of removing neutral cable in the system. In case of load are equal in three phase. Can i connect three lamps of the same current, voltage and power?. If i connect it work properly without any damages?. How i connect these connection?.
Suppose, we take a mcb, connect 3 phases in its input and short the 3 output terminals and turn ON the mcb. What will happen? Will there be a short circuit or the common point of the mcb output will behave like a neutral point?
@@GauravJ for example for a house supplied by single phase in that case whatever be the current flowing through the phase is flowing through the neutral wire also. In my house neutral wire gt heated up and burnt due to less wire size compare to phase wire in main switch. There were no loose connection problem or the case of short circuit, its just the neutral wire from main switch is not enough size to carry return current.
Sir I have a doubt typically in India ground and neutral are internally connected and both are earthed So some power from source would go to earth rather than return to power source itself Also why we use two seperate wires nutral and ground instead of single wire as both are the same
But India has many gurus for guidance on the subject. Actually it is the same everywhere I know of America, England, the civilized world and of course India would be included. Sort of like the Common Law we all share. He has explanation of floating neutrals too, FYI.
you can't not take out the transmission lines from Delta/Y or ,480V/377V to Distribution lines Substation to 120/240Vac residential houses Indian guy. You need a a step downty 7:537:537:53 transformer to feed feed

We can draw the current as much as we required to our electrical gadgets. (But the transformer can not store the current as we store the water in Over Head Tank, Current comes directly from the Generating Station through Transformer)
Example:
Geyser Power (P) = 1000 Watts (Consider as Consumption of Water (Quantity) with specified force)
Current (I) =? (Consider as Water which you are going to consume)
Voltage (V) = 220 V (Consider as Pressure of Water flowing in the Pipe line)
Formula: P = V X I
That is, 1000 = 220 X I
So Current (I) = 1000/220 = 4.5 Amps (Consider, you consumed 4.5 Litre of water)
There is No Minus Current as told in this video. (Think about the Water, how will you minus the water?)
Neutral Current will be zero if all the 3-Phase current is same. (Balanced)
“All the current meeting at junction is Zero” according to Kirchhoff’s Current Law
Consider, there are three houses with single phase power supply connection with different phases (R, Y B).
House R - Consuming 5Amps
House Y - Consuming 8Amps
House B - Consuming 10Amps
Then the Neutral Current would be
√(R2 + Y2 + B2 - RY - RB - YB)
√(52 + 82 + 102 - 5X8 - 5X10 - 8X10)
√(25 + 64 + 100 - 40 - 50 - 80)
√(189 - 170) = √19 = 4.36 Amps
So, in this case, the unbalanced 3-Phase load Neutral Current will be 4.36 Amps.
The Neutral Current would have been zero, if each Phase current would have 5 or 8 or 10Amps
Neutral current will be high if the load is not equal in 3-Phase circuit. But it will be less when compare to each phase Maximum current. So always we use Half of the Phase Cable size for Neutral in 3-Phase loads, considering the balanced load.

Again thank you for your technical support.
Now we want to understand what happens when batteries on telecom site are not fully recharged.
Let me ask a question of removing neutral cable in the system. In case of load are equal in three phase. Can i connect three lamps of the same current, voltage and power?. If i connect it work properly without any damages?. How i connect these connection?.

Very well explained. For single phase system neutral wire size should be equal to phase wire. What do you think?
Not necessary. It can be less as well. Depends upon the system
@@GauravJ for example for a house supplied by single phase in that case whatever be the current flowing through the phase is flowing through the neutral wire also. In my house neutral wire gt heated up and burnt due to less wire size compare to phase wire in main switch.
