What is Neutral?
•TN-S System
•A system having separate neutral and protective conductors throughout the system.
TT mode
A system having one point of the source of energy
directly earthed, the exposed conductive parts of the
installation being connected to earth
electrodes electrically independent of the earth
electrodes of the source.
• TNC-S System
• A system in which neutral and protective
functions are combined in a single conductor in
part of the system.
• IT System
A system having no direct connection between
live parts and Earth, the exposed conductive
parts of the electrical installation are being
earthed.
