Why the neutral is critical

In some installations, the neutral can carry significant current, especially when there are many electronic loads.

Problems that may occur

  • Neutral overheating.
  • Burnt terminals.
  • Voltage instability.
  • Faults in single-phase loads.

Inspection

Check the tightening, temperature, and actual current on the neutral conductor.

Important

The protection and cross-section of the neutral must comply with the requirements of the installation and the load.
