Where does the neutral wire go on a transformer?
Neutral is a circuit conductor that normally completes the circuit back to the source. Neutral is usually connected to ground (earth) at the main electrical panel, street drop, or meter, and also at the final step-down transformer of the supply.Click to see full answer.

Similarly, what is the neutral in a transformer?Neutral is the name of the potential of the transformer which gets grounded at the transformer location, and if needed/wanted it will be carried further on in the installation. Usually it is the star point of the secondary windings, but it could be one of the legs.Similarly, what is the neutral wire used for? The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy. Beside above, does a transformer need a neutral? A delta – wye transformer will not need a neutral on the supply and only needs a neutral on the load side if you want to. A wye – wye transformer would require a neutral on the supply side and only needs a neutral on the load side if you want to.Can you put neutral and ground wires on same bus?It is true that according to code, if it is your entrance, or main panel, you can put neutral and ground wires on the same bus. In an entrance panel both bus bars are grounded to the box.
