Open Neutral Illustration?

[Jerry Brown]

Does anyone know where I can find an illustration of what happens when a neutral is open on a multi-wire circuit that the neutral is being shared?

I want it to help explain this to one of my helpers.

Thanks, Jerry B.

480 posted one before, it went step by step as to what happens and why. Hopefully he'll post it again for you.

Here is an illustration from an old member Ed MacLaren.

Notice that it does not introduce 240 volts across the load with the greater resistance, the voltage dropped across any load is a function of ohms law

He was a member here before he retired as an instructor and I'm not sure what his age was, after he retired he disappeared and IMO is greatly missed, he provided some outstanding educational materials.

He and Bennie had many excellent discussions/debates that were enlightening to all of us.

I miss them both.

And I second that ^^^^^ What he said

You know Roger, I still have kept Bennie's E-mail address in my Address book after all these years. just to remember him of all the great discussions we had.

Thank you very much. This very good and will explain why we tail the neutral. (Which is what his original question to me was).

It's a good, simple, clear and sufficient explanation.
I like that.
