what will happen if instead of neutral we use earth wire as
return conductor?if we can use ,then why we are not using in
our day to day appliances?please justify the answer
Answer Posted / ranadhir
If we use earthwire instead of neutral what will happen ??
Step potential appear between the feet ,may be around 5volt & a very small current ( mA ) will flow that human body may not feel.
Now in case of fault, fault current will flow to earth & human body standing on floor experience a shock because of rise of step voltage.
So in this case step & touch voltage is dangerous for survival.

How to calculate multiplying factor of dc energy meter
i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
