what will happen if instead of neutral we use earth wire as
return conductor?if we can use ,then why we are not using in
our day to day appliances?please justify the answer
Answer Posted / rajendra singh
The neutral is a current carrying conductor, but at "ground" potential or close to.
By using the EGC as the neutral, you have neutral current on metal attached to the electrical system. It will and has caused fires and there is the potential for a fatal shock.
For example you use the EGC as the return neutral. An electrican is working on a circuit and opens the neutral and gets a fatal shock.
