Answer / vinayak khorate
EARTHING IS MENT TO PASS THE LEAKAGE CURRENT FROM ANY BODY
OF EQUIPMENT AND NEUTRAL IS MENT FOR TO COMPLETE THE
CIRCUIT WITH RESPECT TO PHASE.NEUTRAL IS TAKEN FROM
TRANSFORMER WHILE THE EARTHING IS BUILT IN THE PREMISES ONLY

Answer / tauseef tarique, engineer(e)
Earthing is used for safety of person from leakage current.
It is connected to to metallic part(or body) of all
installed(or connected) equipment. Earthing is done locally
in the ground. The types of earthing are Plate earthing
(Copper or G.I.) and Pipe earthing.
Neutral is used to complete the circuit. In every single
phase supply neutral is must to complete the circuit. It is
obtained from the neutral point of star side of a
Transformer.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 34 Yes | 2 No |
Neutral is basically use for providing return path to
complete the circuit.in case of unbalanced load neutral
will show some potential.
on the other hand earthing is used for protection of human
body and equipments.
Earthing has always low resistance than neutral and also
have zero potential.

Answer / p.s.negi
Neutral is the taken of star point of transformerand act
earthed. earting is taken from copper plate or G.I.pipe
with coal and salt mixed together at fixed ratio and placed
3 meter under ground.

Answer / amit kapur
erathing is used for protection of human in event of any
leakage current flowing thru the body of the equipment or
in case of phadse to earth fault.
Neutral is basically creating a return part or completing
the circuit.

Answer / chandru_williams
In simple words we can say that neutral is one which is
used to close a given circuit and earthing is one which is
used to divert short circuit current of fault current to
the ground there by avoiding life loss.
Earthing is at zero potential whereas neutral is never at
zero potential . there would be very light potential.

Answer / arumugam.s
Nuetral helps the complete circuit with respect of phase
which is taking from any phase.
earth helps and protects any current leakage and touches
any kind of iron material or human body, that goes to earth

Answer / paul s
in uk properties that are fed by underground suppliers,
the earth is bonded to the neutral at the supply point, the
neutral coming from the star point of the transfomer is
also earthed hence the earth is at the same potential as the
neutral. the system is called protective multiple earthing,
so no earth rods are used.

Answer / d.k.sahu
Earthing is used for safety of equipment and human life.
its resistance should be very low.
But neutral is used for complete path of 1ph ckt and also
neutralise the unbalanced load.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 1 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / p.ghosh
Neutral is the point which provide a null voltage(ideally)in a 3-ph system and a return path in 1-ph system but earthing is totally different from neutral. You can have an earthed neutral system.Purpose of providing earthing is to take the unwanted/leakage current into earth so that the equipment/operating personal can be protected from electrical damage.
