i work as a technician at a private company.. i used to take
amp reading for certain appliances such as air con.. the
problem is when i clamp the neutral, wire there is a current
reading.. from my understanding for single phase system
neutral should not have current unless if the circuit is not
complete.. yet the air con still work

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

You may not expect current in neutral of a 3phase
appliance. But there will be current in neutral of a 1
phase appliance while working.,
