Lost Neutral

What would be the expected result of a disconnected neutral on a TN-S mains supply into a building?

  • Large voltage offset between N and E, and L-N voltage either high (anywhere up to about 400V) or low, and varying with loading.

    If you have a 3 phase supply, as one L-N voltage goes down, the others go up.

    Even on single phase supply- if the lost neutral is out in the street where it is 3 phase, then you are trying to balance the neighbours loads, and  extremis, exploding light fittings and disappointment all round.  Act quickly to save the installation.
