nulaansluiting
Explanation:
Om het bij ons gebruikelijke elektrische circuit rond te maken heb je naast de fasedraad (aanvoerdraad van de stroom) een nuldraad (retourdraad, afvoer van de stroom), daarnaast kan er een aardedraad voor ontlading/veiligheid zijn.

https://www.elektra-info.nl/bedrading.html

Het is verwarrend maar de nulaansluiting (retourstroom) wordt soms return ground genoemd.

Verwarrend, omdat het begrip 'ground return' een eenfase-aansluiting betreft waarbij er geen retourdraad is maar de aarde wordt gebruikt voor de afvoer van de stroom, zoals bij elektriciteitsnetwerken in o.a. Australië.

Maar daarvan is hier geen sprake, omdat er een aparte aardaansluiting is.

Reference information:
"return", "common", "neutral"

WITH CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS AND SAFETY GROUNDING PROVISION:

This subclass is indented under the class definition. Electrical connector combined with a electricity transmitting member for supply of electrical current, a second electricity transmitting member for return of that electrical current (i.e., a return ground) and with additional, distinct, particular provision to electrically connect a portion thereof to the earth, in addition to or other than the provision of an electromagnetic or electrostatic shielding ground.

(1) Note. This subclass is to provide for any electrical connector including a grounding provision, except (a) one providing for a return path to earth of electricity that has been transmitted to an appliance that has utilized the electricity passing therethrough or (b) one purely for shielding the effect of electromagnetic or electrostatic radiation. Such provision may be called a "return", "common", "neutral", etc. ground. In the event of doubt of whether or not the provision is an "earth" ground or a "return" ground, the device is to be found in this and the indented subclasses.

(2) Note. In the transmission of low voltage electricity, it is not unusual to utilize the framework of structure to serve as a return for electricity. Such a return path is not considered to be a "common" or "return" ground. Terminology that may be indicative of structure including a ground that is not a safety ground includes: "tube socket", "transistor", "chassis", "electronic", "radio circuitry", "electrical shield", etc.
