What is the difference between "Earthing" and "Neutral"?
Answer Posted / boniface
Earthing is done to provide a low impedance path for faulty
current to ground to prevent damage to live and equipment.
Neutral complete the circuit enabling equipment to work.
Note: If a proper earthing is done in your premises, in
the event of a break in the neutral, you can have your
equipment working properly. That should not make you
replaced your neutral with earth.

following are the questions asked in interviews: 1) Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster? whicg one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2)Define SCPD. What is type2 coodination? 3)Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases? 4)If the HP rating is known then can you calculate the ratings of L.V Switchgear(SFU/MCCB, contactor, OLR) without using the selection chart?
