Default Live Component?

Check me on this - These conductors cross the neutral in the service panel. Since the neutral in the service panel has the same potential as ground, is the S.E.C. neutral considered a "live component?"

Default Re: Live Component?

No. The service-neutral is not an energized (live) conductor. . .
