Hello,

Just want to get the terminology correct.

Understand the differences between the Ground and the neutral in house
wiring O.K., but for
the bare wire that comes in from the street (along with the two phases) to
the house service panel:

is this correctly called a Ground wire or a Neutral wire ?

Thanks,
Bob




IMHO, it is a grounded [service] conductor. Notice the -ed suffix; it
is important. I put service in brackets because you can usually leave
that word out.
