One of my questions was: Can the neutral wire be cut in a circuit branch?
Can someone tell me the answer?
Can someone tell me the answer?
Well, it's not that you're wrong, it's that you are using the completely wrong terminology.I'm thinking the answer in "No". The common is the wire that is normally broken in a circuit.
NO, let's NOT call it a common. This is NOT a credible term.Let's assume the black is called the "common", the white is called the "neutral" and the green is still the ground.
Just what is a Tech. IV?Ok, first of all, I never said I was taking a license test. I said I was trying to past a Tech. IV test. I don't need five years experience in electricity.
I don’t think that anyone is trying to make you feel stupid but they are trying to get a better understanding of your question.I just need to know some basics. Are you trying to make me feel stupid or what????????? At least I am trying to learn something! Thank You!
This sounds like a simple 120 or 277 volt circuit. If so then there is no conductor in the circuit that would be called “commonâ€And speaking of basics! If you remember them! Secondly, if you look at a three-conductor wire, one being black, one being white and the other used as a ground wire being green!
As pointed out earlier one use to the term common would be the pivot point of a three way switch. Another would be a conductor that is used for both voltages of a duel voltage transformer like a 208 and/or 240 volt to a lower voltage like those used in heating and cooling equipment. One of the conductors will be common to both voltages.Let's assume the black is called the "common", the white is called the "neutral" and the green is still the ground.
No. The only time that the white “grounded†conductor is allowed to be switched is when supplying a gas pump or if all conductors are disconnect simultaneously and there is no way that any one pole can operate independently.Can the white wire be broke like the black wire in a run with a switch?
Never burn you bridges behind yourself as you may need an escape route.Or, just never mind! Maybe I'm not smart enough to even understand your answer Senior Member!
Thanks for your response anyway! I will ask again after I have five years experience.
This is awkward, but...
