Nope --- I am sure you're not aloneptonsparky said:Am I the only person confused?
That's what I was trying to figure out. Thought I was missing something.Pierre C Belarge said:Load side (secondary) conductors from a 24v source...which conductor is the "neutral" conductor?
drees said:In a low voltage control (24vac) is it ever acceptable by code to interlock the neutral?
drees said:24v hot is switched thru plc. the plc feed is common to all 16 outputs In order to stop specific output from operating under certain circumstance,I could break the neutral to that one output.

dbuckley said:As for neutral - for one wire to be a neutral it would have to be grounded, giving the other wire a 'hot' relationship to ground. If there is no ground connection then both wires are isolated from ground, and are equal in all respects. However, one wire is, in most circuit configurations, a 'common', the return from your lamps, relays and solenoids etc. Most folks get confused when the common line is switched, cos its, well, uncommon..... (sorry, couldn't resist)
Overkill said:I've seen motor starters wired like this. The overload contact it in series with the coil on the neutral side.
dnem said:The overload contact is in series with the coil on the common side. . Don?t use the word ?neutral? or you?ll confuse somebody.

Common isn't the correct word either. If it is a grounded system, then the correct term is grounded conductor. If it is an ungrounded system, there is no word for that conductor.The overload contact is in series with the coil on the common side. . Don’t use the word “neutral” or you’ll confuse somebody.
