In my home I have a 70s 77-8 Arrow Hart Murray Fusible load center as my main panel and I just was hoping I could be informed of how the neutral and ground work in a circut for it because just looking into mine confuses me heck even a diagram would help just so I feel safer understanding it
If you do not feel safe I would call a locally licensed electrician. That old Murry fusible fuse-box could have some serious problems due to age. But I would be looking into replacing it soon.
As far as the difference between neutral and ground in residential electrical wiring -
- The main feeder neutral is bonded at one point at the first main disconnecting means
- Every branch circuit ground (green) is mechanically bonded to all metal boxes and any metal housing throughout that entire circuit.
The neutral and ground eventually meetup bonding at one point only and that is at the first main disconnecting means.
These circuit parts do not differ operationally, even if they are running through a fusible or non-fusible panel.
If you need more answers let me know or post your question or concern here. We are open to helping everyone with home wiring issues.
