Hi! all,
I have worked as an electrician's mate for years. I recently did a PAT course at a local college. The tutor told us that in a domestic installation, if you were to touch the neutral bar, you would get a shock. This confused me, as although I'm not a qualified electrician, I always thought that my understanding of electrical theory was quite good.
I understand that there has to be a difference in potential for current to flow, so how can there be a voltage on the neutral bar.
Hope someone can help me out.
