Can there ever be 55 ohms resistance between neutral & phase of a 230 V single phase

Can there ever be 55 ohms resistance between neutral & phase of a 230 V single phase system or in a circuit or in any closed loop ?

thanks
 

Re: Can there ever be 55 ohms resistance between neutral & phase of a 230 V single ph

Taking your question at face value, the answer is obviously yes. You can insert a resistance of any value between any two points in a circuit. Did you have any particular circumstance in mind?

Yes it is possible, particularly in situations (almost all) where supply comes from secondary of a transformer, the resistance you happen to see is mostly contributed by the secondary winding resistance.

No need for that, it’s enough to leave some 100 watt bulb connected in the circuit. :-D

Yes if there is a load on that circuit, 230/55 = 4.2A ~ 1KW load. Did you leave the workshop heater switched on?

Click to expand...

when there's no power at all in the circuit ??? no appliance or device is switched on ....... main power is switched off completely ...........

no transformer in the circuit at all

i'm just talking about a machine & its wiring , when its power off completely .......... where there are contactors, circuit breakers, 3-phase electrical motors, inverters, braking resistors, lighting system on the panel (single phase) , cooling and exhaust fans (single phase 230 V) , heaters , blowers etc .....

So you finally asked a more clear question...

I think, you can answer it yourself. You either forgot a load or there's a kind of insulation fault. To find out the reason, you'll need to disconnect individual circuit parts and measure respective resistances.

what do you mean by insulation fault ?

Do you mean that a wire or some wires' insulation got damaged and its touching to the machine' panel or some metallic part ?

thanks a lot though
