What is meant by Floating Neutral? how to prent
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / kapil mishra
floating earthing means the neutral is not earth by any
means like solid earthing ,or impedence earthing etc. due
to that if any earth fault occur in any phase the other
phase voltage increase root 3 times from the earth but
faulty phase voltage become zero from the earth. but your
line voltage remain the same.

Floating Neutral Means Neautral is Not Grounded & If there
is Any earth Fault Occured On Any One Phase As A Result Of
that The Voltage Of Other Two Phase Will Be Equal to line
Voltage.

Answer / ankur
The supply neutral point is eathed by a solid link by the
electic supply company.Hence neutral voltage w.r.t earth is
abut 2 to 3 volts. When the neutral link or neutral wire of
supply company breaks, the neutral point starts folating.
depending upon unbalance of the load on three phases, the
voltage on each phase fluctuates from as high as 350-400V to
as low as 50-100V. As a result of tis voltage apears
fluctuating & lights flicker.It normally results in damage
of power supply in various appliances like T.V.& also
damages motors in fans, mixers, fridge etc. of many
consumers in a building.

Answer / ashish
floting neutral means due to if voltage in all three phase
is not same due to asymmetrical load at output then voltage
drop through all phase are not same so neutral point is
shifted from center is prevent by mainten constant load at
all phase
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 20 Yes | 14 No |
Answer / manoj
floting neutral is one whose voltage is not constant.
it is prevented by use of NGR

How to decrease or increase the range of voltmeter? can an ammeter be used to measure voltage? can a wattmeter used as voltmeter and ammeter?
an amazing situation was faced when an alive distribution panel with 415 volts and carrying almost 200Amps has become short and this metal cubical showing 220 volts against neutral and earth. to redress any confusion i checked the panel with help of single 200watts test lamp which also glowing with max.intensity b/w neutral & metal body of DB. amazing situation is that i hold the DB firmly more than once with necked foot means without insulated shoes but not received any electrical shock. whereas our all running gen sets neutral points also proper grounded and this short DB was completely earthed , this is beyond my understanding . any body explain how is it possible . our running gen set neutral also grounded firmly
