Answer / karan thakur
Neutral comes out from node point of star winding. Any
unbalance between three phases will reflect on neutral
conductor.
Earthing is a low resistive path for any short circuit or
fault level. Earthing protects the equipment from damaging
due to low resistive path.

earthing is for protecting humans from shock if there is
any leakage current flowing thro the body of equipments.
Neutral is to complete the circuit without neutral current
cannot flow thro the load this neutral is earthed at the
star point of distribution transformer and earthing of
transformer and star point of transformer should never be
mixed.

Answer / gul mohamed
Earthing of a system is to protect the system from high
surge current/voltage due to lighening and it is having
CB. while neutral provides return path to the current
flowing in the tranmission line.

Answer / muthu
Earthing that is prohe system for suddenly hight current.
Neutral that is used in return current and close the circuit

Answer / vinod bhardwaj
when any unbalanced current flow in ckt It goes to neutral
wire called neutral wire
while current flow in body or nay non current carrying part
it goes to earth called earth

Answer / patel a
Neutral -neutral is comes from transformer star point.but
earthing comes from earthig of the ground .it is ground for
short circuit.it is maximum ragistance 1 ohm .neutral
potential voltage 5 volt.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 1 Yes | 4 No |
Connecting the conduction part of network to ground is
known as earthing where as connecting non conduction part
to ground is Grounding.
