What is the role of link in neutral in a three phase ac
system?

Answer Posted / kevin fowke

The role of the link in a three phase system is to allow
complete safety isolation of the system for maintenance
purposes. When a 3 phase 4 wire system is used to supply
single phase loads between phases and neutral
disconnecting the neutral could cause a single phase load
to be subject to the same voltage as the phase to phase
voltage. Normally all 3 phases should be completely
disconnected BEFORE the neutral is disconnected. For this
reason a fuse is never placed in the neutral line of a
3phase 4-wire system. In a single phase system the
disconnection of the neutral before the phase line is not
that important.

As we use capacitor bank in 3ph ckt to improve PF, can we use capacitor in single ph domestric use, in house we have Fan,Mixer,electric cooker,iron,tube choke they also lag the system,because it is inductive load. if it is possible to improve PF of single ph system-- if yes- type of capacitor to be used,connection diagram, working in detail. if no-- list it.
