What is the voltage between neutral and live?
The plug contains three wires – the live, neutral and earth wires. In a plug, the live wire (brown) and the neutral wire (blue) are the two wires that form the complete circuit with a household appliance….Live, neutral and earth mains wires.
Wires | Voltage between them (V) |
---|---|
Live and earth | 230 |
Neutral and earth | 0 |
Should there be any voltage between neutral and ground?
Under load conditions, there should be some neutral-ground voltage – 2 V or a little bit less is pretty typical. If neutral-ground voltage is 0 V – again assuming that there is load on the circuit – then check for a neutral-ground connection in the receptacle, whether accidental or intentional.
Why is there continuity between live and neutral?
It should show continuity, because it is finding a current path from the live wire through the wiring to the power transformer, through the transformer to the neutral wire, and to the bond point that connects neutral to ground.
Why is the neutral voltage not at exactly 0V?
Typically, Neutral is not at exactly 0V due to the length of the cable and stray capacitances and inductances. Also, Earth is not ideal Earth due to the properties of the Earth pit and potential drop in the cable going from the socket Earth point to the Earth pit.
What is the potential difference between neutral and live wire?
Thus potential difference between Live and Earth will be approximately 240V, and that between Neutral and Earth will be 0V, i.e., they will be equipotential. Typically, Neutral is not at exactly 0V due to the length of the cable and stray capacitances and inductances.
What does 30V L to E mean on line neutral?
Neutral -Earth. and the same again at Line – Earth. Line to Neutral reads 240 Volts. 30v L to E tells me you not got an earth. N/E should be 0V.
What is the difference between 128v and 240V?
Voltage between neutral and line 1 is 128v, neutral and line 2 is 240v and neutral and line 3 is 400v. What’s wrong? Considering the voltage transformer from which you are getting supply is Delta/Star, 11KV/415 VOLT configuration .
