What is the basic difference between earthing, ground and
neutral?

Answer Posted / sendhur

Ground and earth are one in the same, and don't normally
carry any current - they are "reference" ground.

Neutral is the grounded side of an AC outlet. It carrys
current, it is the return path for AC. Although it is
grounded at the utility pole, it should not be grounded
anywhere e
