in single phase circuit if i connect a heater between phase
and neutral, then what will be the current path? phase to
neutral or neutral to phase.

Answer Posted / ahamad kutty

SINCE AC IS ALTERNATE CURRENT IN EVERY HALF CYLE EACH
CONDUCTOR POLARITY IS CHANGED HENCE IT IS FROM PHASE TO
NEUTRAL FOR ONE HALF CYCLE AND FROM NEUTRAL TO PHASE NEXT
HALF CYCLE.

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
