What is voltage 

Answer Posted / abdul rahman

In simple terms,imagine how water falls from a height.The waterfall is created by the height difference.If both the levels are same there is no water fall.The height difference is voltage and waterfall is current.
Voltage is the cause and current the effect.
Hence we say 230 or 400V.Thats the potential difference created between two terminals which causes current to flow.

When we have earthing mesh or underground earthing network in industrial plants, weather we have NT-S or NT-C-S kind of earthing system, so eventually weather we must use 4 or 5 wire in 400 volt level (For example 3×150+70 mm2 or 5×150 mm2) in this connection I would like to know exactly the paragraph of IEC or IEEE number
