IF a phase touches another phase in a 3 phase AC supply it goes bang due to them being 120 degrees apart and therefore being at different voltages when they touch (this, i understand), so WHY, after passing through an electrical component, can all three phases be joined onto a 0 potential wire (the neutral)? Surely they are still out of phase and should still go bang?
all textbooks seem to be really poor at explaining this and I am yet to meet anyone that has got anything other than a half arsed answer that strays from the point... any help appreciated.
