i) in which cases should we go for neutral and where should
we go for ground?
ii) in domestic supply we are getting 230v a.c.and what is
the amount of current?
Answer Posted / h s dhillon
1) Althogh the question is not fully clear,I try to answer
it according to my understanding. The neutral wire is used
as return path with a phase wire to complete the circuit ,
whereas, the ground wire is basically meant for protection
against faults. Although, both these wires are joined
together at the distribution T/F and hence, the ground wire
can also work as neutral wire(of course, in a poor manner)
but in that case the return current flows through the
earth wire which is generally a bare steel wire and it
gets heated and melts the PVC insulation of the
neighbouring wire, ultimately leading to a short circuit.
2)The amount of current depends upon the load (Wattage) of
the appliance connected to the supply.
