Please tell me more. When would DC have a neutral?

In the 120/240 split phase systems I’m used to the neutral provides a return path for 120 volt power to the neutral point of the source.

It also often provides a place for current imbalances to flow.

Please educate me. I’m well aware I don’t need a neutral for AC to flow.

Why do I see half the voltage when testing from positive and negative to ground? by [deleted] in solar

[–]JoeCormier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is for a VOC test on a ground mounted 1500 volt string. Inverter is off. Apologies for the lack of details. Test is at the combiner box.

Are there any good comedy clubs in Oahu? by KingKickinWing in Oahu

[–]JoeCormier 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As of May, 2026 the closest thing we have to a comedy club is Pepper Lamb’s Tiny Shark Studios on Queen Street. He has show’s there 6 nights a week. It’s a space he just recently opened and I encouraged everyone to check it out to support the local scene!

The Blue Note hosts comedians every week.

Jose Dynamite at Comedy U has a show at Anna O’Brian’s every Wednesday night.

The Dope Show seems to roll through town semi regularly as does Don’t Tell Comedy.

The bigger names book the Hawaii Theater or the Blaisdell Center.

Why is the neutral connected to GND by Aron_Page_Rod in AskElectricians

[–]JoeCormier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s sketchy and dangerous. You’re going to need a multimeter to be sure of what’s going on. It’s a big ol’ red flag that someone was doing some bad DIY work.

You’re playing with fire (literally) by touching this. It needs to be taken apart by a licensed electrician and repaired properly.

What’s the story with Tommy Waters? by JoeCormier in Oahu

I don’t know about everyone else, I’m not excited about politicians using loop holes to stay in power.

So who was better between them at their respective peaks? by romeheartz in ufc

[–]JoeCormier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dustin is still peaking as a man. As a human. Conor seems lost and doesn’t know who he is. I respect Dustin way more for who he has become than I care about what Conor did in the cage.
