Yes, I simply use unity 1 1.oo for power factor, it gets me in the area for unbalanced current. So that means we can reduce the size of the neutral conductor here in the states. Tom

//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=108574#108574 Hello Quote - You mentioned a multiwire circuit. A multiwire circuit cannot exsist without a NEUTRAL conductor. And a neutral is a conductor designed to carry unbalanced current. You are getting the hang of it mates TOm

Your explanation is Excellent, thanks for helping me out. I am beginning to love the brits. :D

Your intermediate switch would have 4 wires and the luminaire is controlled from 3 or more locations, \ Tom

10 amp on hot#1 10 amp on hot#2 00 amp on the neutral and 10 amp on hot#1 25 amp on hot#2 15 amp on the neutral so you can see that the neutral is designed to carry unbalanced current Thank you for submitting the electrical schematic Very Nice You Brits are A ok!

ban-all-sheds Wow out of all the responses (ban-all-sheds) you get A+ for understanding what a neutral conductor is. Thank You Your 2 way switch is our 3 way switch. Ours is called a 3 way because it needs 3 wires to function: Thats where the the 3 way was developed because it was...

The question was NOT about any power going into UK homes. The question was: What is a electrical neutral conductor designed to do? THe electrical neutral conductor is designed to carry unbalanced electrical current, between 1 or more electrical phase conductors. You people are inserting...

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the term of neutral. All I was doing was expressing the function of an electrical neutral conductor which is_: A CONDUCTOR THAT CARRIES UNBALANCED CURRENT. Thats all there is to it. Would you agree or dis agree that a neutral conductor is a conductor...

Thank you ninebob Have a nice Holiday Season Tom

I realize that this is a forum. But Kedsy can you tell me, how to get back to the USA. This is my first time on this DIY. Kedsy, is an electrical neutral conductor in the UK different from an electrical neutral conductor throughout the world?

At least "Plugwash" knows what the neutral is designed for. Plugwash says: "neutral is carrying the imbalance"; which is correct. You Brits have a very nice Holiday Season. Anybody know How I can get back to the USA? On this thing! Thanks Tom

I don't care where you are; A neutral is a neutral. And a neutral conductor is designed to carry unbalanced Electrical Current. I don't know how I got to the UK but I wanted USA. Will USA ever respond? Thank you for the return response. Have a safe and Happy Holiday Season Tom Conlan

When you use the word NEUTRAL this is totally in error in reference to the above. LOOK at what a neutral is designed to do. The neutral carries unbalanced current of circuit. There is no unbalance of current to the subject circuit above. The proper word to use according to the NEC is the White...
