Q.1 What is neutral mixing?
Ans. Neutral Mixing happens when outgoing neutrals of two & more energy meters in a building wiring are interconnected together. In general, it happens due to interconnections of common facilities of the building like common water pumps, common stairs lightings, common security system & wrong internal wirings etc.. It is recommended that, the circuits for each meter after meter should be separate to ensure that the neutral after any meter does not get mixed with any other meter.
