I thought the term "neutral" was going to be defined in the 2005. I don't see it. Did this get dumped in the comment stage or by the standards council?
 
Re: Neutral Definition

Bryan, I seem to remember something like that as well. I will need to fire up the other computer at work to search the ROP and ROC for any action. :D
 
Re: Neutral Definition

I believe that it was rejected in the comment stage because of problems with the wording. Here is the text that was passed at the proposal stage.
Neutral Conductor. A conductor, other than a grounding conductor, that is connected to the common point of a wye connection in a polyphase system or the point of a symmetrical system that is normally at zero voltage. [ROP 1?122]

It was placed on hold for additional study as a result of comment 1-145.
Comment on Proposal No: 1-122
Recommendation: This proposal should be held.
Substantiation: Since the term ?neutral? is used in many sections of the NEC, the CMP 2 task group requests that the proposal be held for broader discussion by the various code-making panels involved. This comment was submitted by
a task group of CMP 2.
Panel Meeting Action: Accept
CMP 1 understands that by accepting this comment, Proposal 1-122 will be held until the 2008 cycle of the NEC.
Panel Statement: The panel recognizes that the definition it accepted in Proposal 1-122 is problematic when considering the many comments received. Some of the comments present new material that has not had public review. In order to properly address a definition of ?neutral conductor,? the panel will form a task group from CMP's 2, 4, 5 and 13 to review all the comments related to Proposal

Why would they want to put an end to that dog fight? Wouldn't that be like them telling us ground up or down. They have got to leave us something to disgust on forums at 2AM when you can't sleep.
