  However, if the neutral wire is compromised or improperly connected, it can lead to several hazards. One significant risk is electrical shock. When the neutral wire loses its connection or becomes overloaded, it can cause the electrical current to seek alternative paths to complete the circuit. This can result in the unintended energizing of metal surfaces, equipment, or even the ground, posing a serious risk of shock to anyone coming into contact with these surfaces. Furthermore, an improperly functioning neutral wire can lead to overloading of other circuits in the electrical system. When the neutral wire fails to carry its intended current back to the source, the load on the circuit can become unbalanced. This imbalance can cause fluctuations in voltage levels, tripping of circuit breakers, and potential damage to electrical devices and appliances connected to the circuit. ZZZ Another hazard associated with a compromised neutral wire is the potential for electrical fires. When
