Answer / 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.

Answer / 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.

Answer / varaprasad inavilli
Current will pass to the circuit when there is a closed path in the circuit.
To creat closed path with phase , we will use neutral in single phase circuits.
Earth:-
it is used to earth the metallic parts to avoid shocks

During he starting up of the motor, the upstream's MCCB (350A) always trips due to the UVT relay activated. Can Star-delta starter use for a 20kW Motor (For a powder mixer machine) cause voltage-dip in the supply line voltage? If so, what are the recommended solution to eliminate/reduce the transient voltage dip in the line voltage?
What is the suitable transmission voltage?
if an insulated power and control cables of a running gas diesel gensets laid direct in an open trench i.e, trench bed is not rcc of a power house in which rain water, spillage water alwas exists and all power control cables remains submerged even when gas gensets of 480 kw each runningin on load. These power &control cables runs from power house to switchgear room through these trenches in which water remains most of the time. pl explain its merit & de-merit
