why neutral is neccessary?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / mustafa
There should be a return path for the current.In delta
connected system there is no neutral.In star connected
system you get 240v between phase and neutral.If any single
phase appliance lost its neutral connection you will get
full voltage while getting shock. Neutral work as a return
path in electrical circuit.

Answer / tameshwar singh
There are maily two functions of neutral:-
1) To provide the return path of ckt.
2) To make the ckt balance by using neutral grounding.
In some applications neutral is also used for the
restricted earth faults protection ie- Alternator

Answer / divi
neutral is used to prevent the device from faults.it
reduces the over current flow.

Answer / abhishek singh
NEUTRAL IS NECCESARY BECAUSE NTRL ACTS OR PROVIDES THE
OPPOSITE PATH TO THE CURRENT.CURRENT HAS ITS OPPOSITE PATH
IN ANY CKT.SO NTRL FULLFILL THAT OPPOSITE PATH.SO IT IS
NESSARY WITHOUT IT THERE IS A ERROR OF OVER VOLTAGE IN
ELECTRICAL CKT.

IF we have 500kva transformer 11.0/0.415V, 50Hz. How to calculate the current on HT & LT side, how can we consider for its breaker (HT & LT both)? You are requested to solve the question herewith.
3 Answers Bhutan Power Corporation,
In Air circuit breaker LSIG protection unit is used. Without fault in cables (2 runs 3Cx150Sq.mm Copper, 1Kv grade, XPLE armored cable IR value is more than 550Mohm @ 500V Megger) and load section Long time Overcurrent protection is triggers and trips the unit. We changed LSIG protection with new factory tested unit. Even then fault is persisting. Please suggest the possible causes
Why is DC use instead of AC for protection and control circuits?
