what is the disadvantage if earth is connected to neutral

Answer Posted / venkatesh sastry

we connect earth in all the machines to save machine and
man by electric shock. because the leakage current passes
to the earth by earthing wire.if we connect the earth wire
to neutral:- the leakage current will flow in the same
circuit and increase unbalancing.it is very dangerious for
man and machine.
