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 / snk

open circuit.but air con working and neutral floe is the
return of current.you make your question in tow parts then it
will be help full.
