Default Re: Analogue Electricity Meters.

It is possible to run a torch bulb from the neutral and earth it works due to voltage drop along the neutral caused by unbalanced loads across the 3 phases which leads to voltage drop on said neutral wire. However it wont work on PME supplys where earth and neutral are joined where the supply enters your house. Also it MAY cause RCDs to trip
