why neutral wire don't shock?..

Answer / sdr

To experience a shock,there must be a potential difference
between you & the wire you are going to touch it.As neutral
is always at zero potential,it doesn't shock you when you
touch it.

why neutral wire don't shock?..

Answer / sangram patil

shocks made where potential difference is available, in
between neutral & you there is nothing difference because
you are standing on earth. also Neutral is always Zero if
load is balance so you dont have shock by neutral.

why neutral wire don't shock?..

Answer / raghavendran.r

As mentioned in 4 and 6, the neutral is at 0 potential.But if due to improper earthing or due to unbalance, neutral shifting occurs then neutral will be at a higher potential than the earth.At that time if neutral is touched then it will cause electrocution.

why neutral wire don't shock?..

Answer / raja

neutrol wire is connected to ground,,so that entair fault
current flowing thow the ground..so its doesnot shock

why neutral wire don't shock?..

Answer / rajesh

my doubt is ,
during the positive cycle voltage drops at the load.but
during the negative half cycle current is drawn from
earth.so potntial should appear at the neutral during -ve
half cycles.
then we should feel shock?
