Red de electricidad Mains the system of pipes or

or electricity into a

Red de neutro a tierra Network with all electricity leaving an
earthed neutral electrical substation
must return to that
substation in order to
complete a circuit.
Unless that circuit is
completed, electricity
will not flow. The current
leaves the substation
on a high voltage line
which eventually
connects to some
electrical "appliance."
After exiting the
"appliance" that current
must return to the
substation. The neutral-
grounded network
provides the returning
current two choices.
Either it can return via
the neutral line, which
accounts for the second
wire on our electrical
poles, or it can return
through the ground.
These two pathways
comprise the grounded-
neutral network.
