Scott,
This question was inspired by Joe (Tedesco).
When We see a white wire, many of us would call it a neutral, common etc. What would be the more correct term for the ungrounded conductor on a single phase 120v circuit or the wire "common" to a multi-wire circuit - single phase or three phase.
One argument, as I see it, is that if it carries current (unbalanced)it is not "neutral" I would be more inclined to give them different names depending on the circumstances, so as to be more correct with a labeling and better understood.
Single-phase - ungrounded conductor suits me.
Multi-wire - common wire (would be more correct than Neutral as far as I'm concerned)
What do you think?
