What is the difference between earth and neutral

Answer Posted / tayyab

The neutral is created by the transformer connection i.e Delta to Y this has no voltage level.This is used to complete the current path.
While ground also has 0V but this is used for the safety while high current passes.
Usually these two are short circuited together.

WE know that for Inductor X=2pifL,In DC f=0,then X=0 so,V=IX=0;But In the DC excitation of rotor of AC generator,DC motor field coil which coils are inductor so why does not applying DC voltage short the rotor coil of AC generator and field coil of motor?If it would then DC source might be damaged but it is not happened. Why does the strand conductor of Electrical power transmission line make twist?
