Hi all
Hopefully somebody will be able to help out a confused idiot!
Visited a farm today which has recently had a supply upgrade from signle phase to split phase, thought I'd have a quick look at what had been done and noticed that they had bought the new supply cable in and added a new cut out to the side of the existing one.
This then gave them the two phases but also two neutral's. I was under the impression that its usually just 3 core's with there being only one neutral.
Is there any reason for this being done in this fasion, would they have combined the two neutrals withn the junction point below the meter and connected a single line in or would they both be connected through the meter?
Would they have any need to have the second neutral conneted at all or would this just be terminated?
I know alot of questions but thanks in advance.
