Answer / priyadharsini

Ground and earth are same.the current flow in earth/ground
when fault occurs.

Neutral is used as a return path. current flow only when
closed path is there.
current flow in neutral under normal conditions.

Answer / rr0505

Neutral provides return/ balancing path for the phase
currents and completes the circuit. Neutral can also be
Earthed at source end as per system requirement.
Earth refers to system at mother earth potential, essential
for human sefety.
Ground refers to virtual earth system in Electronic
circuitries in appliances as also Aircrafts/ Automobiles,
etc.

Answer / mohammed yousuf khan

In a simple way,

1)Neutral is used as the reverse path for the phase currents to complete the circuit in A.C. systems.

2)Earthing is for Self protection.

3)Grounding is for System protection.

Answer / sk sazzadur rahaman(iamsazz@ya

Ground and earth are both same. This means connected to
ground ie always remain zero potential. Neutral means tle
lower potential of the supply source with respect to
another potential of the same supply source.

Answer / deepesh k v

Grounding/Earthing (both the same) is done for human safety
and Neutral is done for device protection

Answer / bandaru aravind

CONNECTING NON-ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTS (SUCH AS BODY
EARTHINGS)TO GROUND IS CALLED EARTHING & CONNECTING
ELECTRICAL BODIES (SUCH AS NEUTRAL EARTHING AND WHICH ARE
DIRECTLY GIVEN 2 EQUIPMENTS)IS CALLED GROUNDING.......

Answer / ajit

Neutral is used to close the ckt. with phase voltage and earthing is used to collect leakage voltage from the body and release it to the ground for human safety.

Answer / raj

earthing is provided for short circuit current.
ground is provided for surge currents .

neutral is provided for return path (i.e for closed path).

Answer / sanjay eliokem india

ground and earth both are common itwii useforsurge
protection and neutral for return path of the circuit

Answer / sanjeev

EARTH IS USED FOR PROVIDING THE PATH OF LEACKAGE CURRENT .
NEUTRAL IS USED FOR PROVIDING THE PATH OF REVERSE CURRENT
GEROUND IS USED FOR THREE PHASE BALANCING SYSTEM.
