what is diffrence between neutral and earth wire

Answer Posted / rocky ram

An Earth wire is used to provide a path for leakage current
in case the body of an equipment is in touch with a naked

provide a closed loop to the flow of current in an
equipment.
The neutral is earthed at the Distribution transformer
secondary side.
