Absolute nonsense. You see bare neutrals all over the place in rural areas of the U.S.
with

Don't you think it's time you stopped assuming that what is true in your [obviously limited]
experience is true everywhere?
In DISTRIBUTION, yes - but not on the "consumer" side.
Wrong again. Triplex cable (see link above) isn't used for distribution anywhere in the U.S.
that I'm aware of -- it is, however, very commonly used for service drops (from the
transformer to the customer's service mast).
Like I said... don't you think it's time you stopped assuming that what is true in your

It is "distribution" untill it enters the building., or mast.
