I plugged a 110V television to a 220V outlet and had it blown in a few seconds, this explains that occurrence that happened more than a decade ago. Thanks Dr. Electrical Guy.
That should never be possible. Wes the neutral missing somewhere? 220v receptacles should have a completely different shape so 120v plugs should never fit
It is really great, easy and direct explanation, once the person understands the idea precisely he would explain it clearly as you did. Thanks for your golden efforts
Wow, one of the best explanations i ever listened on RUclips. I want to add some practical application of not using neutral wire. For instance in transmission line we can not provide a neutral wire as we don't connect load
Thank you indeed for such a clear explanation of the importance of neutral wire. Would you please advise if presence of an RCD would help and if it would trip off in case there is a loss of neutral wire on three phase supply. Thank you.
In North American practice, the wye point of the primary in wye-delta three phase transformer banks (wye-primary; delta-secondary), is often disconnected from the neutral to balance the secondary voltages. This allows the wye point to "float".
Thanks for sharing. If the neutral wire detected amps value, which is not negligible, can we assume the 3 phase loads are not balanced? Second question, if we found the voltage on each phase is not identical, can we assume there might be a problem with the neutral wire?
After watching this video, I wanted to write this. First, we understand the CURRENT in a simple way. We are having an Over Head Tank at every house, right? From there we are having connections to our bath rooms, kitchen, utility etc. with the pipe line (Plumbing line). Once we open the tap, the water will flow from the Over Head Tank to the tap through the pipe line. We use / consume that water. Consider, you are having a Geyser at your house. It consumes current to operate. If we give some current by turning on the switch (Same as Water in the pipe line to the Tap) with required force, (Voltage) the Geyser will draw / Consume the power (As designed). Wires used in this are the Conductors which carry the current same as pipe line which carries water. Here the Power source would be Transformer same as Over Head Tank for water. We can draw the current as much as we required to our electrical gadgets. (But the transformer can not store the current as we store the water in Over Head Tank, Current comes directly from the Generating Station through Transformer) Example: Geyser Power (P) = 1000 Watts (Consider as Consumption of Water (Quantity) with specified force) Current (I) =? (Consider as Water which you are going to consume) Voltage (V) = 220 V (Consider as Pressure of Water flowing in the Pipe line) Formula: P = V X I That is, 1000 = 220 X I So Current (I) = 1000/220 = 4.5 Amps (Consider, you consumed 4.5 Litre of water) There is No Minus Current as told in this video. (Think about the Water, how will you minus the water?) Neutral Current will be zero if all the 3-Phase current is same. (Balanced) “All the current meeting at junction is Zero” according to Kirchhoff’s Current Law Consider, there are three houses with single phase power supply connection with different phases (R, Y B). House R - Consuming 5Amps House Y - Consuming 8Amps House B - Consuming 10Amps Then the Neutral Current would be √(R2 + Y2 + B2 - RY - RB - YB) √(52 + 82 + 102 - 5X8 - 5X10 - 8X10) √(25 + 64 + 100 - 40 - 50 - 80) √(189 - 170) = √19 = 4.36 Amps So, in this case, the unbalanced 3-Phase load Neutral Current will be 4.36 Amps. The Neutral Current would have been zero, if each Phase current would have 5 or 8 or 10Amps Neutral current will be high if the load is not equal in 3-Phase circuit. But it will be less when compare to each phase Maximum current. So always we use Half of the Phase Cable size for Neutral in 3-Phase loads, considering the balanced load.
Video is cristal clear but could you explain how the risk of unbalanced phases is coped with in distribution networks without neutral ? Like where I live
Dear sir, i have 3 questions, 1. What will happen if we joint two different transformer neutral wire together 2. What will happen if we connect load phase wire from 1 transformer and neutral with 2nd transformer 3. In large UPS system there is 3 core wire for 3-phase inputs, but out of ups is 3 phase with neutral, how we get this neutral on UPS output
Dear Sir Thank you I have question: If I conected neutral wire with ground cable and neutral wire cut, is load will continue to work with out any problem? Is voltage and current will stay same? Regards Essam
Let me ask a question of removing neutral cable in the system. In case of load are equal in three phase. Can i connect three lamps of the same current, voltage and power?. If i connect it work properly without any damages?. How i connect these connection?.
1)Sir at 2:17 how loads will work without neutral wire or without low potential path for each phase. 2) Sir in case of balanced single phase system do we need neutral wire ?
Thanks for the precious explanation .. Also wanted to know if a single phase RCCB connected to a load will trip if the loads in all the 3 phases are balanced (identical).
That was nice and clear explanation, I just have one question in mind, in the unbalance load without neutral, voltages in all three phase will become unbalance too, but where does the unbalance current path back to the source if there is no more neutral conductor.
Sir, I have a question. If I connect unbalanced loads in Delta configuration then there is no opportunity for existing neutral wire. Then what is the voltage across the each load?
The question is in 220 V single phase system if we remove the neutral wire(meaning we only have hot wires) can the current complete the circuit back to the transformer?
Suppose, we take a mcb, connect 3 phases in its input and short the 3 output terminals and turn ON the mcb. What will happen? Will there be a short circuit or the common point of the mcb output will behave like a neutral point?
Sir great explanation.. But i have 2 questions.. 1- Is A transformer of an inverter similar to distribution transformer.. I mean a small tranformer also has a neutral wire or it difference from distribution transformer?? 2- if neutral make balance of each load of a house then why sometimes we face the problems of low or high voltage in our house??
Yes (I think neutral current will not be more than phase current). In worst case, where waveforms are badly distorted, we can use neutral cable same size as other phase wire.
Wonderful explanation of neutral conductor to Wye transformer.
As usual you supply wonderful information.

First, we understand the CURRENT in a simple way.
We are having an Over Head Tank at every house, right? From there we are having connections to our bath rooms, kitchen, utility etc. with the pipe line (Plumbing line). Once we open the tap, the water will flow from the Over Head Tank to the tap through the pipe line. We use / consume that water.
Consider, you are having a Geyser at your house. It consumes current to operate. If we give some current by turning on the switch (Same as Water in the pipe line to the Tap) with required force, (Voltage) the Geyser will draw / Consume the power (As designed). Wires used in this are the Conductors which carry the current same as pipe line which carries water. Here the Power source would be Transformer same as Over Head Tank for water. We can draw the current as much as we required to our electrical gadgets. (But the transformer can not store the current as we store the water in Over Head Tank, Current comes directly from the Generating Station through Transformer)
Example:
Geyser Power (P) = 1000 Watts (Consider as Consumption of Water (Quantity) with specified force)
Current (I) =? (Consider as Water which you are going to consume)
Voltage (V) = 220 V (Consider as Pressure of Water flowing in the Pipe line)
Formula: P = V X I
That is, 1000 = 220 X I
So Current (I) = 1000/220 = 4.5 Amps (Consider, you consumed 4.5 Litre of water)
There is No Minus Current as told in this video. (Think about the Water, how will you minus the water?)
Neutral Current will be zero if all the 3-Phase current is same. (Balanced)
“All the current meeting at junction is Zero” according to Kirchhoff’s Current Law
Consider, there are three houses with single phase power supply connection with different phases (R, Y B).
House R - Consuming 5Amps
House Y - Consuming 8Amps
House B - Consuming 10Amps
Then the Neutral Current would be
√(R2 + Y2 + B2 - RY - RB - YB)
√(52 + 82 + 102 - 5X8 - 5X10 - 8X10)
√(25 + 64 + 100 - 40 - 50 - 80)
√(189 - 170) = √19 = 4.36 Amps
So, in this case, the unbalanced 3-Phase load Neutral Current will be 4.36 Amps.
The Neutral Current would have been zero, if each Phase current would have 5 or 8 or 10Amps
Neutral current will be high if the load is not equal in 3-Phase circuit. But it will be less when compare to each phase Maximum current. So always we use Half of the Phase Cable size for Neutral in 3-Phase loads, considering the balanced load.

You should never never never connect a neutral to ground
Do not ever connect neutral to ground. You can very easily kill someone

Hi
Again thank you for your technical support.
Now we want to understand what happens when batteries on telecom site are not fully recharged.
Can we connect the equipment ground on devices to neutral instead of sending it to the ground rod?
That was nice and clear explanation, I just have one question in mind, in the unbalance load without neutral, voltages in all three phase will become unbalance too, but where does the unbalance current path back to the source if there is no more neutral conductor.
Good point
Good question
could you please take a video of controller explanation. with examples like PID,DYNAmic etc
Thank you
Sir, I have a question. If I connect unbalanced loads in Delta configuration then there is no opportunity for existing neutral wire. Then what is the voltage across the each load?
Nice explanation sir.
One question. Sir.
Difference between neutral wiring and grounding..
Thanks. Do ahare and subscribe 🙏✌🏻 I'll try to make a video on that
The question is in 220 V single phase system if we remove the neutral wire(meaning we only have hot wires) can the current complete the circuit back to the transformer?
Nice explain
Thanks. Do like and subscribe to my channel !!
Good video. Suggestion, put three phase systems somewhere in the title, as it is not applicable in single phase systems.
Suppose, we take a mcb, connect 3 phases in its input and short the 3 output terminals and turn ON the mcb. What will happen? Will there be a short circuit or the common point of the mcb output will behave like a neutral point?
Very good
Could you please make a video about Phase Shift Transformer (the operation principles, usage..)

Sir great explanation.. But i have 2 questions..
1- Is A transformer of an inverter similar to distribution transformer.. I mean a small tranformer also has a neutral wire or it difference from distribution transformer??
2- if neutral make balance of each load of a house then why sometimes we face the problems of low or high voltage in our house??
I enjoyed, loved it ❤️💖❤️💖❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
what about non-linear inductive loads & harmonics in the system, can we use the neutral wire size half the phase size
Yes (I think neutral current will not be more than phase current). In worst case, where waveforms are badly distorted, we can use neutral cable same size as other phase wire.
Nice video sir
Pls make video on how unbalanced loads impacts neutral size and calculation of unbalanced N current formula with load angle or sequence
Sir but why some designer choosed the neutral to be 2x larger size than the size of line wires.? I was confused on that...
Great
