what is the difference between neutral and earth

Answer Posted / santanu misra

though neutral and earth may look to serve same purpose but
neutral is a part of circuit,it allowes return path for
current,it has many advantages,a neutral is used in 3phase
transformer to reduce harmonics &makes secondary output
fairly sinusoidal,on the other hand earthing means to
connect an electrical system to ground potential for
protection purpose,if any leakage current exists in
circuit, earthing forms a low resistance path to ground and
protect the operetor from electric schock.
