That was the pun intended I used brown for red and red for brown colour stays the colour intended for visual but the word reads a different colour.

I think I will stick to black and white

Very confusing lol. is it a bit like because the power has been consumed and is only returning the current-whereas when fault or open current hasnt been used so still charged to full.

if that sounds stupid you can slapm me lol

 

[Evans Electric]

Not stupid at all , yes it is like that, current is returning to earth via the neutral. It might help if I knew how to post a sketch on here but I don't. Can you picture a generator with star windings , the centre point of the star is zero volts and this is the neutral connection . So the supply transformer is wound the same way and the centre tapping is earthed and becomes the neutral. The word neutral is self explaining. I find it hard to explain, say you have a 3 phase motor and you want a lamp as a warning signal that its running but there is no neutral. Connect the lamp (240v) between one phase and the star point in the motor term. box and lamp works . Otherwise you would have to connect two lamps in series and connect across two phases .

I think I'm confusing things here ,have a look at Special's post, further back.

A tiny trickle of what I tried so hard to learn in Poly 20 years ago is beginning to emerge; star wired generators have a middle bit and edge bits and isn't this why there are always three wires on a big pylon and a tidgy one at the top ?
