That’s right Joe…


some conductors are in favor of the war and other conductors are against the war… but the ones who stay out of the whole situation… those are neutral! icon_wink.gif

Actually what you mean to say is;


Not all conductors electrically connected to ground are “grounded conductors” some are “grounding conductors”.

![icon_twisted.gif](upload://xjO326gspdTNE5QS3UTl0a0Rtvy.gif) Not discussing Grounding Conductors ....

NECH Commentary:

Quote:
Article 200 contains requirements for grounded conductor use and identification.

The grounded circuit conductor is referred to throughout the Code as the grounded conductor.

The grounded conductor is often, but not always, the neutral conductor. For example, in corner-grounded delta systems, the grounded conductor is not the neutral conductor.

The grounded conductor in corner delta sure looks like a “neutral”. It is white and can be the 3d wire in something that “looks like” regular single phase switchgear.


We can get a discussion of corner delta going but we should probably do it over at your house. These HIs will have their eyes glaze over.
