Neutral Wire Size
Hello, I am putting up a 48 panel system at my home and having trouble determining what size neutral wire I need. The array is 350 feet from the main panel. I am using enphase inverters with schott panels. I will be installing a subpanel at the array which will then go to the ac disconnect at the main panel.

Difference between live and neutral wires
Live, neutral,and earth, are labels that are used to convey some information on the use of each wire. You are correct in thinking that in a typical two wire AC loop/circuit, both wires carry the same amount of current (amps). So, both wires could be considered live wires. In a 3 wire circuit, the neutral wire is created when you have a power source that is center tapped

How To Identify Live & Neutral Wires | Creative Safety Supply
Electrical wires are organized by colored, insulated wrap to indicate the purpose and hazard level of each wire. While it may seem overwhelming to look inside an electrical panel, these wiring color codes will help you easily identify whether a wire is live, neutral, or ground.. To remember which color wire is live and neutral, understanding the colors of each wire and why electrical wires

Is Green Wire Live or Neutral?
Neutral Wires. Neutral wires are always going to be white or gray. These wires carry the electrical current back to the power supply from the device so that the current can complete the circuit and re-enter the pathway on a loop to keep the device powered. While different from live wires, neutral wires do carry live currents!
