What is the difference between earth and neutral

Answer Posted / guna

neutral is acts as a closed path for the electric circuit for continuity. residual current will flows through the neutral wire..
Earth wire transfers the high fault currents to the earth. to save the equipment.

In our plant we have installed new MCC with ELR and CBCT which is detecting some leakage current in the system but it leading to some confusion when to check that in which feeder which is drawing current we put off the whole panel itself but still CBCT detecting some leakage current so can anybody ans me , where i am going wrong or how to detect whether its actual leakage or CBCT malfunctioning.
