One of a set of conductors that is connected to an electric source at a point at which there is the least voltage.
Note 1: The set of conductors may commonly be in the form of a cable.
Note 2: In a balanced system the neutral conductor carries no significant current and may be connected to earth or omitted altogether.
Note 3: The point of connection of the neutral conductor at the source is called the neutral point. In a star-connected system it is also called the star point.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
