Neutrals ARE current carrying conductors.



Safety grounds are NOT, until a fault condition arises.



Make your point clear.

I'm from Brazil and here N= Neutral ; L1 =220V (-120º); L2=220V (0º) and L3(+120º) therefore L1 in oscilloscope will be GND and L2 the prove.
Is it possible with the wire groud conected in the jack?

** Question time:

Have you got a dual trace /channel scope with "invert" function on one
channel ?

Do you have two 10:1 probes ?

If so, others have given you the answer already.

BTW:

3 phase power is VERY DANGEROUS !!!

Beginners should NOT be touching it.

I made my point clear Phil.

You said, "Neutral conductors are always linked to ground at the service
box."

I said," In the USA neutral and ground are "usually" connected at the
service box but not always."

That's clear enough.
No need to go beyond that.

** NO it is NOT !!!!!!!!!

No need to go beyond that.

** It must be connected to ground somewhere - or else it is simply NOT a
neutral.

Ever see the movie "Groundhog Day" ??

Is there any risk to use oscilloscope without wire ground? Because with wire ground there is a short circuit when I use GND on the line.

ok people, resolved. thanks
