No "Neutral" in a 2 Wire Circuit.
Same level of Current will flow on both Conductors -
(unless something is terminated incorrectly!..) The same applies to:
- L-N 120 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 1 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-N 120 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire Wye source,
- L-N 120 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire Delta source,
- L-N 277 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire Wye source,
- L-L 208 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 1 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-L 208 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-L 208 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire source,
- L-L 240 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 1 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-L 240 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-L 240 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire Delta source,
- L-L 480 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 3 wire source,
- L-L 480 Volt 2 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 4 wire source,
- L-L-L 208 Volt, 240 Volt and 480 Volt 3 Wire Circuits, from a 3 Phase 3 or 4 wire source.
Just wanted to make the subject clear.

BTW, I think it's time to draw up some basic circuit schematics, to demonstrate the flows + levels on 2 wire circuits
(also point out when a Common Grounded Conductor is a "Balanced Neutral", and when it isn't).
