Discuss Voltage across neutral to earth in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hi bud,what i am focusing on,is that you may not have used the correct instrument,to determine the nature of those voltages.
The neutral conductor will only be neutral whilst connected to the neutral point of the supply, once it is disconnected from the neutral point it becomes just another conductor and will behave as such.
So if it is connected (via a load or fault) to a live conductor is will be at that potential with reference to earth or the neutral point. If it is not connected to anything but is in close proximity to live conductors it will have a capacitively coupled voltage on it which could be anything up to the full potential of the live conductors.
Are you contending that someone got a bad shock off an isolated cable solely due to capacitive coupling to that cable?Thank you mate. I'm really glad you could really understand my question. The capacitance of the disconnected neutral is the answer. I knew it was a flaw in the testing procedure but as I couldn't explain it like you I couldn't purseude the main electrical contractor.
