what is phase and neutral.
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / anoop
neutral by definition is not an absolute zero voltage,it may have a small value of potential above or below zero.but it's average value is zero.
phase has some high potential.it's an electric conductor where large amount of current flows.

Answer / lakshminarayanan
phase is a current conduction on a conductor and neutral is conductor used to close a circuit and mainly used to carry the exceeding current.

Answer / bhaskar
Real power = active power+ reactive power.
KW=KVA+ KVAR
In any closed circuit( single phase) nutral required because to carry reactive power to star connection.
With out neutral the circuit will not complete.
Phase means which carry some voltage to load device.
And neutral means which carry's zero voltage.
There is a voltage high voltage fluctuations occured in
Line when neutral will cut.

Answer / chandra hasan t deee
Phase : some value of voltage in conductor is called phase.
Neutral :zero value of voltage conductor is called neutral.

Answer / karan
phase is the part of circuit which is at highest potential...a current flow occurs if phase comes in contact with a low potential circuit path or conductor.. the neutral just acts as a return path..neutral's potential is zero..for power transmission both are required...

I find that underground strip-armoiured,4core,LT PVC cables in an earthed power distribution sytem are occasionly found in charred condition-with no trace of it except ash. Is this because of no proper earth connection/continuity (giving rising to high armour resistance)in the joint enroute or because of insufficient capability (again due to high armour resistance)of cable-armour to carry fault current or due to neglected /unprotected overloading of the cable or due to high armour currents caused by power thefts where only phase(s) are unauthorisely tapped & at the point of poer consumption earth terminal is established by burring underground a not so good earthing rod (or using an underground water pipe for the purpose)
