What is the difference between Neutral and Eatrh?..

Answer / manthesh.patil

neutral is one which it is used for return path in a closed
circuit ,without neutral it is impossible to complete the
circuit and where as earth is for safety purpose ,whenever
heavy current or short ckt flows to the ckt, that current
will directly flow into the earth and whenever the live wire
is touching the body of the equipment,if earth point is
connected we don't get shocks that current will flow to the
earth so earthing is used for safety purposes

What is the difference between Neutral and Eatrh?..

Answer / vijaykumarht

neutral is a closed circuit and zero path but earth is a
alternate path which can be used for safety. The earth is
not a neutral and vice versa.

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 5 No

What is the difference between Neutral and Eatrh?..

Answer / ashok

neutral is used for the protection of power system by the lightening. earth is used for protection by over voltage in transmission line because of voltage going to the earth.

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 5 No

What is the difference between Neutral and Eatrh?..

Answer / vargis

Neutral is an earthed point near the transformer.Earth wire
is zero potential connected to earth near building and body
of the equipment.
So both are same.

A three phase load, around 4 km away from the 11/0.433KV distribution transformer (Neutral of Transformer is solidily earthed) and consisting of mainly very costly and sensitive electronic equipments is giving trouble due to high voltage difference between neutral and body earth. Whether this problem can addressed by connecting neutral at the load point solidly to earth?
