If the neutral wire go pass through the core balance current
transformer? If yes then why? and no then why?

Answer Posted / kj

The neutral is requiered to pass through the core balance
CT together with the phase for the same circuit. It
operates on the current going through the pahse being
balanced with the current returning through the neutral. If
these are balanced the protection will not operate. If a
fault occurs (a short circuit to earth in either the phase
or neutral)some current will flow through the earth to the
neutral and not go through the CBCT. This will then operate
the protection.
