SUMMARY:The Phantom Neutral - Why the Feeder Voltage Floated Overnight? 
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries\nThis webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific\, technically focused topics relevant to professional engineers. \nWebinar details\nIn power distribution systems\, the neutral conductor is often taken for granted\, until something goes wrong. This webinar unpacks a fascinating case where feeder voltages became unstable and “floated” overnight\, causing equipment malfunctions and unexplained voltage imbalances. \nThrough detailed system analysis\, participants will investigate the causes and consequences of a lost or high-impedance neutral\, including shifting reference points\, unbalanced loads\, and capacitive coupling effects. The session highlights diagnostic challenges and introduces practical methods for detecting and mitigating neutral-related anomalies in both LV and MV systems. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nExplain how neutral displacement leads to voltage imbalance and equipment risk.\nDiagnose open-neutral and high-impedance neutral conditions in distribution systems.\nUnderstand the role of grounding\, earthing systems\, and load asymmetry.\nApply field-proven troubleshooting techniques for detecting “phantom” voltage behavior.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electrical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52894WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Renewable Energy)\n52888WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Power Industry)\n52892WA Advanced Diploma of Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering in Mining\n52883WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Electrical Systems)\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Clinical Engineering Fundamentals\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Circuit Breakers\, Switchgear & Power Transformers\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nEmeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam \nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \nProfessor Akhtar Kalam is a supervisor of EIT’s Doctoral students.
